About the Dropdown Element
The Dropdown Element allows users to select from a predefined list of options within the contact/newsletter form element, such as choosing a preferred contact method or subscription type.
It is an essential tool for creating organized and user-friendly forms, as well as streamlining the collection of structured responses.
How to Add a Dropdown Element to Your Page?
Important: The Dropdown element cannot function independently and must be added within a Newsletter or a Contact Form element.
To add the Dropdown element to your page, follow these steps:
Step 1: Access the GemPages Dashboard > Pages, then click on the target page to locate the editor.
Step 2: From the left sidebar, search for “dropdown”, then drag & drop it into a Newsletter or a Contact Form element.
If you do not have any of them yet, add one on your page first, then nest the Submit Button inside.
