To make dropdown menus on your desktop view have a fixed height and scroll in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a navbar element: Start by adding a navbar element to your project. You can find the navbar component under the "Components" tab in the right sidebar of the Webflow designer.

  2. Add a dropdown menu: Inside the navbar, add a dropdown menu component. You can find this component under the "Components" tab as well.

  3. Set the dropdown menu to a fixed height: With the dropdown menu component selected, go to the "Styles" panel on the right sidebar. Under the "Height" section, set the height to the desired fixed height.

  4. Enable overflow: Next, click on the dropdown menu component to select it, and then go to the "Styles" panel. Under the "Overflow" section, click on the drop-down list and select "auto". This will enable scrollbars when the dropdown menu exceeds the fixed height.

  5. Style the menu items: Customize the appearance of your dropdown menu items by selecting the dropdown menu component and going to the "Styles" panel. You can modify the font, size, color, spacing, and other CSS properties to match your desired design.

  6. Preview and adjust: Finally, preview your website to see how the dropdown menu looks and functions. If necessary, you can make adjustments to the fixed height or any other styling properties until you achieve the desired result.

By following these steps, you can create dropdown menus with a fixed height and scroll functionality on your desktop view in Webflow.
