Why Doesn't This Bootstrap Dropdown Example Work?

I'm just trying out the example in Bootstrap documentation, but it doesn't seem to work. I just get plain HTML. This is my code:

Solution 1:

I see two problems with your markup.

First, you're including the bootstrap plugin "before" the jquery plugin. Jquery first, bootstrap plugins second.

Second, you're using a DOCTYPE that is not supported by the bootstrap, you have to use HTML5's DOCTYPE:

<!DOCTYPE html>

Solution 2:

I think jquery.js should be imported before the bootstrap javascript file


Solution 3:

I dont see your <body> opening tag


Solution 4:

Looks like bootstrapcdn is the popular choice, but for those wanting to use cdnjs.com, they have "all the files" and keep them up to date (version 2.0.0 through 2.1.1).
