If your navigation dropdown isn't showing the available options when previewing in Webflow, there may be a few possible reasons for this issue. Here are some steps you can take to fix it:

Check the Z-Index: The dropdown menu options may be hidden behind other elements on the page due to incorrect z-index values. Ensure that the z-index of the dropdown menu and its parent elements are set appropriately to allow it to appear above other content.
Check for CSS Conflicts: Sometimes, there may be CSS conflicts within your Webflow project that interfere with the dropdown menu display. Use the browser's developer tools to inspect the dropdown menu element and identify any conflicting styles or overlapping elements.
Check Interaction Triggers: If you have any interactions or animations set up in your Webflow project, make sure they are not affecting the visibility or display of the dropdown menu. Check if any interactions are targeting the dropdown menu or its parent elements, and adjust them accordingly.
Check Dropdown Settings: Double-check the settings of your dropdown component in the Webflow designer. Ensure that the dropdown is set to display its options on hover or click, depending on your desired behavior. Also, confirm that the interactions or custom code associated with the dropdown are functioning correctly.
Publish and Test: After making any changes, publish your Webflow project and test the navigation dropdown on different browsers and devices. This helps ensure that the issue is resolved and that the dropdown is visible and functioning as expected in all scenarios.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and fix any issues causing your navigation dropdown not to display the available options when previewing your website in Webflow.
