If you're experiencing issues with your dropdown menu not working on tablet and mobile screens when previewing it in Webflow, here are a few troubleshooting steps you can take:

  1. Check your interactions: Dropdown menus usually rely on interactions to show and hide the menu items. Make sure that the interaction associated with your dropdown menu is properly set up and functioning as expected.

  2. Review the menu structure: Verify that the menu items are structured correctly. Double-check that the dropdown items are nested within the parent menu item. This can usually be done by arranging the elements within the Navigator panel in Webflow.

  3. Check for conflicting styles: Conflicting styles can cause menus to behave unexpectedly. Inspect the styles applied to your dropdown menu items and ensure that there are no conflicting properties or conflicting interactions that might prevent the dropdown from working.

  4. Test on different devices: Conduct tests on various tablet and mobile devices to determine if the issue is specific to a particular screen size or across all mobile devices. This will help in identifying any potential responsive design issues.

  5. Debug any custom code: If you have custom code implemented that affects the dropdown menu functionality, make sure to debug the code for any errors or conflicts that may be causing the issue. You can use the browser's developer tools to look for any console errors.

  6. Consider browser compatibility: Sometimes, certain browsers may not fully support the interactions or styles applied to your dropdown menu. Test your site on multiple browsers to ensure compatibility.

If you still can't resolve the issue, you can reach out to the Webflow community forums or contact Webflow support for further assistance.
