Bootstrap dropdown not working

JavaScript
1

First off all, I am not sure if this belongs in the CSS section or that posting it here is ok?

For some reason the Bootstrap dropdown isn’t working; I have this in the head section on the page:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/font-awesome.min.css">

this just before the closing body tag:

<script src="//ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.12.4.min.js"></script>
<script>window.jQuery || document.write('<script src="/js/jquery-1.12.4.min.js">\x3C/script>')</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

and this is the HTML:

<nav id="navigation" class="navbar navbar-default">
	<div class="container">
		<div class="navbar-header">
			<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbar">
				<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
				<span class="icon-bar"></span>
				<span class="icon-bar"></span>
				<span class="icon-bar"></span>
			</button>
			<a class="navbar-brand" href="">Site name</a>
		</div>
		<div id="navbar" class="navbar-collapse collapse">
        	<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
				<li class="">
				<a href="/nl/" class="home" >Home</a></li>
				<li class="dropdown">
				<a href="javascript:void(0)" class="services dropdown-toggle"  data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-expanded="false">Diensten 
                <span class="caret"></span></a>
					<ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
						<li>Webdesign</li>
                        <li>SEO</li>
                        <li>Internet marketing</li>
                        <li>Hosting diensen</li>
                    </ul>
				</li>
				<li class="">
				<a href="/nl/about" class="about" >Over mij</a></li>
				<li class=""><a href="/nl/contact" class="contact" >Contact</a></li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </div>
</nav>

I also added a document ready function:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $(".dropdown-toggle").dropdown();
});

But that also didn’t solve it. Does anyone see something strange? Thank you in advance

Is the bootstrap.min.js where you say it is?

Your dropdown works for me when I link to a CDN.


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css">

Hi Paul. Thanks for the reply. It turned out that it had to do with sticky.js pluginn I was using to make the navigation stick to the top when it reaches the top. This is what I had in my document ready function as well:

$(".navbar-default").sticky({ topSpacing: 0 });

As soon as I removed that it was working again. How can I make sure that will work as well

I’ll need to see a demo as there’s not enough for me to work on otherwise. :slight_smile:

I’m guessing your sticky nav may have some overflow:hidden or something stopping the dropdown from being seen. Or maybe your sticky plugin is giving a js error which stops the bootstrap dropdown js from running.
