How to create a dropdown using Bootstrap?-CodePudding

I was creating a dropdown at Menubar. I am using Bootstrap 5.1 to do that. This is an ASP.NET Core 6 MVC project. It is a partial view. The exact code is as following:

<li >
  <a  href="#" data-toggle="dropdown">Admin</a>
  <div >
    <a >Categories</a>
    <a >Media Types</a>
  </div>
</li>

But whenever I click on this link the dropdown doesn't toggle. If someone can point out the problem that would be very helpful. The reference video is attached here

The above answer are all wrong. I have watched your video, and the reason behine is your code is using bootstrap-4, instead of bootstrap-5.

I have tested your code with bootstrap-4 starter template, and now it works.

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <!-- Required meta tags -->
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">

    <!-- Bootstrap CSS -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-zCbKRCUGaJDkqS1kPbPd7TveP5iyJE0EjAuZQTgFLD2ylzuqKfdKlfG/eSrtxUkn" crossorigin="anonymous">

    <title>Hello, world!</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <li >
      <a  href="#" data-toggle="dropdown">Admin</a>
      <div >
        <a >Categories</a>
        <a >Media Types</a>
      </div>
    </li>

    <!-- Optional JavaScript; choose one of the two! -->

    <!-- Option 1: jQuery and Bootstrap Bundle (includes Popper) -->

  </body>
</html>

Check the starter template by here.

If you sure your whole ASP.NET Core MVC Bootstrap's version is 5.1, your code won't work.

You have a typo here:

Before

<a >>Categories</a>

After

<a >Categories</a>

Update

Adding to the typo you had, like @seantsang94121 said the other problem here is that you are using this code in bootstrap 5 and it only works in bootstrap 4 as his example shown on his answer -> Answer

You must add Bootstrap script to your project:

<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" integrity="sha384-EVSTQN3/azprG1Anm3QDgpJLIm9Nao0Yz1ztcQTwFspd3yD65VohhpuuCOmLASjC" crossorigin="anonymous">
