On the web, Jakob Nielsen says: 

1. Very long menus that require scrolling make it impossible for
users to see all their choices in one glance. It's often better to
present such long lists of options as a regular HTML list of
traditional hypertext links. 

2. Drop-down menus can be confusing because Web designers use them
for several different purposes.

3. When users select a value in a drop-down and then use the mouse
scroll wheel to move down the page, they often change the value of
the drop-down selection instead. and don't realize.
