To replace the traditional caret with a 'hamburger stack' type of mobile icon in your Webflow dropdown menu, you can follow these steps:

Add a custom class to your dropdown element: In the Webflow Designer, select your dropdown element and give it a custom class name. This will allow you to apply custom styling to it.
Create a div block for the mobile icon: Drag and drop a div block element into your dropdown element. This will serve as the container for your mobile icon.
Style the div block: Select the div block and give it a custom class name. Then, apply the necessary styling to make it look like the 'hamburger stack' mobile icon. You can use the Webflow Designer's style panel to adjust the size, color, and spacing as desired.
Add an interaction: With the div block selected, go to the Interactions panel in the Webflow Designer and create a new interaction. Choose the trigger "Click" and select the dropdown element as the target. Set the action to "Toggle Dropdown" so that it opens and closes when the mobile icon is clicked.
Adjust positioning: If necessary, you may need to adjust the positioning of the mobile icon to align with the dropdown menu. You can use CSS positioning properties or Webflow's built-in positioning options to achieve the desired positioning.
Preview and test: Save your changes and preview the site in mobile view to ensure that the 'hamburger stack' icon appears in the dropdown menu and functions as expected. Test the dropdown menu on different devices and screen sizes to ensure responsiveness.

By following these steps, you can easily replace the traditional caret with a 'hamburger stack' type of mobile icon in your Webflow dropdown menu.
