My terminology is likely not correct!
AFAIK, a pull-down is a menu
that usually starts near the top
of a Web page and 'pulls down'
so that its items cover much of
the page and let the user click
to pick one of the menu options.
I have contempt for pop-ups and
also pull-downs so use "ups"
for one and "downs" for the other.
Instead of such controls, I prefer
a better considered user interface
(UI) that doesn't have the screen
jump around. Basically
for a good user experience (UX),
I never want the screen to 'jump'
in a way that surprises the user.
A screen that jumps has a UI
that is difficult to document
succinctly and, thus, usually is
not documented well or at all
and, then, requires a user to
experiement with the UI,
assume some truths from some
really thin hints, and waste
effort. Instead I want the UI
to be easy to understand
carefully and thoroughly without
experiments or guessing.
