Hey guys I'm working on a django project that is using bootstrap4 and I'm with a little problem with dropdown toggler...
The toggler only toggles the dropdown-menu after the second link!
What i've done wrong?
This is my dropdown HTML code:
<li class="nav-item dropdown show">
<a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="#" id="navbarDropdown" role="button" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
Dropdown Toggler
</a>
<div class="dropdown-menu" role="menu" aria-labelledby="navbarDropdown">
<a class="dropdown-item">Link 1</a>
<a class="dropdown-item">Link 2</a>
</div>
</li>
you need to use the toggle like that and assign the data-target
to the drop down menu with it's id
using
data-target="#navbarDropdown"
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarDropdown" aria-controls="navbarDropdown" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
and then assign that id to the menu
<li class="nav-item dropdown show">
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarDropdown" aria-controls="navbarDropdown" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div id="navbarDropdown" class="dropdown-menu" role="menu" aria-labelledby="navbarDropdown">
<a class="dropdown-item">Link 1</a>
<a class="dropdown-item">Link 2</a>
</div>
</li>
I had the same problem then resolved. Often I due to a double import of bootstrap js libraries.
Hope will help you.
Try to put bootstrap js file before bootstrap css
Ex:
- Link Bootstrap.min.js file first.
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
- Then link css file
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/css/bootstrap.min.css">
I got the same issue and after changing the positions of the js and css, dropdown works well. Hope it helped you.
I came across the same issue recently, i solved this issue by adding $('.dropdown-toggle').dropdown() after loading the drop-down. Hope this may help without changing from the data-toggle="dropdown" to data-toggle="collapse".
