Dropdown Menu

The following two examples show an input field with a dropdown element in front of. Pressing the "SendTo"-Button will display a selectable list. This list is different in the examples. Notice that the omit attribute is set for <tc:link/>.

Info It's recommended to use buttons instead of links for dropdown menus inside an input group.
When using a button, a dropdown menu is positioned under the input group. Otherwise the dropdown menu is set directly under the link.
