Covering the Bases
Dropdowns in web forms are generally good; they make it simpler for users to input options correctly and ensure back-end data integrity. They can be limiting at times, though, so I have to respect an event registration website I used yesterday that tried to be all-encompassing in the selections for “Title”:
I have to imagine this list came from some out-of-the-box form generation tool. Or created by GenAI, perhaps? I’m curious what it could have been. And was it not modifiable? Suffice it to say several of the choices are fairly pretentious given the event I was buying tickets for, so I feel like maybe the developer should have looked into culling the list.
