1351026 2013-08-10 08:03:00 How do you effect the drop-down menus on a website that appear with a mouse-over "hover" (on a pc) when using a touch-screen device like a tablet? when I tap on the menu it just goes to the link, if I long-press it brings up the browser menu for opening the link in another tab etc., but I can't make the drop-down menu appear.

Any ideas?

1351028 2013-08-10 08:12:00 Not sure about Android but in Windows Phone I could get it to work by tapping and holding, waiting for the menu to appear then tapping out of it. pcuser42 (130)

1351030 2013-08-10 08:39:00 just found a long-press works in chrome on the android, but not in the default installed browser... I wonder if there's a way to do it in the default browser?

You need to tap out of the menu. ;)

1351033 2013-08-10 09:40:00 I just tap and then the menu drops down and then
I tap the sub menu.

Give us link to a site that doesn't work for you.

Android 4.3, here.
