Hi all, 

 

I have read the forums and searched the depths of the internet to find out why the dropdown on my NavBar is not working. I'm very new to Dreamweaver and previously had the dropdown menu working, but now I cannot click the dropdown and see the options. I've attached some screenshots to show what I am working with here. I would love if someone could help me out. Thanks in advance!

All of your script files are missing, the  browser throws 404 errors. Can you upload them as they are created in your sitefolder:

 

bootstrap.css file - upload your 'css' folder

 

jquery-3.4.1.min.js

popper.min.js

bootstrap.js

All 3 above - upload your 'js' folder

 

 

<!-- Bootstrap -->

reading it in diagonal makes it looking normal,

  • you're in live view,
  • the display seams fine,
  • no code error detected
  • all css and js files are linked correctly

when you saythat the drop down is not working you mean when you click on the display that's it, or is it on your browser, or when you place it on the server ?

Hi @defaultvbg7e1p6wn4g ,


Thanks for writing to us. Please try enabling 'Hide Live View Displays' option in live view and see if you can click on NavBar dropdown and see the dropdown options.

 

We can enable 'Hide Live View Display' option by any of the below methods:
Method 1:
a) Switch to Live view
b) Invoke View menu --> Live view options and select 'Hide Live View Displays' menu item

 

Method 2:

1. Switch to Live view
2. Press keys Cmd+Ctrl+H (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+H(Win) to enable the option 'Hide Live View Displays'

 

Method 3:
a) Click on Live view options button in Common toolbar (PFA the screenshot)
b) Select 'Hide Live View Displays' menu

 

Please let us know if the above works on your machine else we will further investigate the same.

 

Have a pleasant day!

 

Thanks,
Nayan

The best option is to paste your pages code and any css that you have created in the forum if you cant upload to a web server. Someone will be able to look at your code and make suggestions as to why its not working.

We see it working with the attached code(PFB the screenshot), we linked it to Bootstrap version 4.4.1. Can you please confirm if the src atribute links within all the script tags are valid and if the files are present.

These are screenshots of my file structure. Can you tell me what is missing from this? I believe I have all of the files present.

If you upload those files the dropdown should work as expected.

Hello All,

 

I was able to get my NavBar up and running thanks to @Nayan_Kankariya . Great support and service! He helped me get the 4.1.4 version of bootstrap linked up with my site because although I had it in my files, it was not updated in my css folder under my file manager because I didn't have the public_html root set up. Thanks for all the help! 🙂
