Web browsing on tablets
How do you access things like drop down menus that would normally appear when you placed the mouse cursor over them? How does this work on a touch screen like the ipad?
Like on this site for eg: http://www.dpreview.com/ Try the menus at the top |

Pressing and holding just brings up the menu for saving images etc. You just have to click and hope for the best. ![]() Sometimes the drop-down list works, and sometimes not, depending on the website. In the example site the drop-down list appears momentarily, but then it just goes to the main link. |

It varies by browser, actually. I like how Chrome does it, it autozooms the screen area you are trying to touch.

That might work on the iPad, but it doesn't on my Xoom.
