I've been working on the nav menu for a website that should have multiple levels. I'm having trouble with the JQuery in terms of having the correct drop downs appear on click. I'm new to using Javascript and Jquery in webpages so I appreciate any help I can get. This is what I have so far.
$('.dropdown').on('click', function() {
$(this).children('.sub-menu').toggleClass('show');
});
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.show {
display: block;
