How can I make the dropdown menu in my Webflow site 100VW without it stretching off the screen? I've tried changing it from absolute positioning, but it became misaligned. Is there a simpler solution?

To make the dropdown menu in your Webflow site 100VW without it stretching off the screen, you can use a combination of CSS properties and Webflow's built-in features.

Here's a step-by-step guide to achieve this:

1. Select the dropdown menu element in the Webflow Designer.

2. In the Style panel, go to the Position section and set the position to Relative. This will give the dropdown menu a reference point for absolute positioning.

3. Still in the Style panel, scroll down to the Size section. Set the Width to 100% and the Height to Auto. This will ensure that the dropdown menu takes up the full width of its parent container while adjusting its height based on the content.

4. Now, let's handle the absolute positioning. Click on the Settings icon next to the Position section label to open the Position Settings dialog.

5. In the Position Settings dialog, select Absolute positioning. In the Constraints section, enable the options for Left, Right, Top, and Bottom. This allows you to control how the dropdown menu behaves in relation to its parent container.

6. To keep the dropdown menu within the viewport (100VW) and prevent it from stretching off the screen, you'll need to set the appropriate values for the Left, Right, Top, and Bottom constraints. Here's an example configuration that keeps the dropdown menu within the viewport:

- Left: 0
- Right: Auto
- Top: Auto
- Bottom: Auto

7. Finally, you can style the dropdown menu further by adjusting its padding, backgrounds, typography, and other visual properties. Customize it to fit the aesthetics of your website.

By following these steps, you can create a dropdown menu that spans 100VW without stretching off the screen while maintaining responsiveness and alignment.
