Hey ya’ll! I’ve been having trouble with the creation of drop-down button in codepen.  
The script :  
"div class=“dropdown”\>  
button class=“btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle” type=“button” data-toggle=“dropdown”\>Dropdown Example  
span class=“caret”\>  
ul class=“dropdown-menu”\>  
li\>HTML  
li\>CSS  
li\>JavaScript  
/ul\>  
/div “” Should create simple dropdown with 3 (HTML/CSS/JS) buttons, but for some odd reason It’s not generating the 3 buttons only the actual “Dropdown Example” button. I changed bootstrap to v3, but still no luck.

Hi

Which version of bootstrap are you using?

There have been some changes between versions 3 and 4. See [here](https://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/migration/) for more details.

It would be easier to assist if you posted a link to your pen.

Thanks

Did you include jQuery and bootstrap.js too?
