I have a horizontal menu bar on my class blog. As the year progresses, I’ll have a lot of items in my navigation menus.
Before I get too far into building my menus, I’d like to know:
If my menus become very long, will a scrollbar automatically appear inside the menu area (e.g. dropdown panel, sidebar widget)? If not, is there code I can use to include one?
Or will the extra items just push the menu taller, possibly running off the screen?
Is there a recommended way to limit menu height and enable scrolling if the content exceeds that limit?
Any best practices for organizing a large number of menu links to avoid usability issues, especially on smaller screens?
Thanks!

Hi there,

No, by default a scrollbar will not appear. Instead, the menu items will wrap to a new line once they exceed the available width of the navigation container.
Any best practices for organizing a large number of menu links to avoid usability issues, especially on smaller screens?
We recommend using an off-canvas menu if your navigation contains many links. This approach improves usability, especially on smaller screens, as the entire menu is neatly contained within a slide-out panel—eliminating the need for horizontal scrolling and enhancing accessibility.
