Consider the whole thing. This inner scroll bar appears to have
no meaning on most people's screens. It is a redundancy and looks
fiddly and unnecessary. The dropdowns you actually have are
puzzling, the home does not seem to need separate linked
elaborations (though you may be planning more?). Ditto, the
Contact Us with just one "elaboration"?
You have put in all this machinery, partly to cater for unwanted
side-effects but still simply waste left and right screen estate
with graph-paper bg. Consider just laying out your list of links
and forgetting this fancy pants dropdown until there is a real
need for it after you have exhausted your design efforts and
truly run out of space and ideas...
