Hi, im having trouble with a dropdown menu im trying to get working properly. Im using notepad++ for editing, but not sure thats the problem. My problem is that im not that good at coding, but have to create this menu for a project. Therefor I hope theres someone in here, with the knowledge and time to help me out, so the foldout or expanding of the menu will work. Theres a file with the javascript and one with the css code and i have put them below this.
File with javascript:
