How do you copy and paste a drop down menu? What do you do to keep it from disappearing when you try to highlight it?...

Let’s say you want to copy the menu under Edit, or any other link.

What browser are you using? If you just want to capture any screen in Windows you can use Ctrl/Prnt Scrn (hold it for a few seconds) and edit by “pasting” into any editing program. If you want to catch a web image though, I love and recommend using Chrome browser with Screenshot capture

Aside from copying the html code “the drop down menu”. You need to copy any style rules/css and JavaScript that might be controlling the dropdown/hover effects

As far as I know, you can’t copy/paste it. As @Blueroses said, you need to take a screen shot using “print screen”, and then paste it into a program like Paint.
