用户体验：表单下拉与自定义设计
我正在为一个跨国网站重建一个语言选择界面，我开始认为使用简单的表单下拉菜单可能比他们当前使用的自定义 JavaScript 下拉菜单更适合可用性。我是不是偏离了基地，还是应该跟随自己的直觉？你怎么认为？
I'm rebuilding a language selection interface for a multi-national website, and I'm beginning to think it might be better for usability to use a simple form drop down rather than the custom JavaScript drop down menu that they're currently using. Am I way off base here, or should I go with my instinct? What do you think?

简单的下拉有其优点。当您让浏览器决定要做什么，而不是通过 JS 强制它执行您想要的操作时，特殊环境（例如移动设备）的浏览器会将下拉菜单格式化为其本机选择器。
Simple drop down has its advantages. When you let the browser decide what to do, instead of forcing it to do what you want via JS, then browsers for unique circumstances (such as mobile devices) will format the drop down as its native selector.
如果自定义 js 菜单不提供附加功能，那么一定要使用基本选择菜单。但是，如果有充分的理由使用自定义菜单，请考虑使用渐进式增强 因此您可以确定它为每个人提供了基本功能，并为支持它的浏览器添加了功能。
If the custom js menu provides no additional functionality then definitely go with the basic select menu. However, if there's a good reason to use the custom menu, consider implementing it in a way that uses progressive enhancement so you can be sure it provides the basic functionality for everyone and adds features for browsers that can support it.
任何访问设置语言页面的用户都会有一个特定的目标。他已经知道他想在这里设置什么语言（就像在大多数表格中人们知道他们想要填写他们的出生日期一样）。
因此，我建议使用具有自动完成功能的文本框。优点如下：
Any user who reaches the page for setting languages, comes with a specific aim in mind. He already knows what language he wants to set here (just as in most forms people know what they want to fill in for their birth date).
For this reason, I would recommend a text box with autocomplete functionality. Here are the advantages:
我不会对国家/地区使用下拉菜单 - 当项目数量很大时，它们使用起来很麻烦（https://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/31738/what-is-the-maximum-recommended-number-要放入下拉列表的项目）。
在下拉列表中，“开始输入字母”可以直接跳转到说“俄罗斯”，这是下拉列表中的一个很棒的功能 - 尽管我怀疑这是一个高级用户功能 - 很多用户都不会意识到这一点（基本上是因为它是隐藏功能）。

干杯
I wouldn't use a drop down for countries - they are cumbersome to use when the number of items are large (https://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/31738/what-is-the-maximum-recommended-number-of-item-to-put-in-a-drop-down-list).
The "start typing a letter" to jump directly to say Russia when pressing R is a great feature in drop down lists - although I suspect that this is a power user feature - one that a lot of users will be unaware of (basically because it's a hidden feature).
Check out this solution instead -
