Menu
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:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="bootstrap.css" type="text/css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/assets/js/bootstrap-dropdown.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script>
$('.dropdown-toggle').dropdown();
</script>
<title>Dropdown</title>
</head>
<ul class="nav nav-pills">
<li class="active"><a href="#">Regular link</a></li>
<li class="dropdown" id="menu1">
<a class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#menu1">
Dropdown
<b class="caret"></b>
</a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li><a href="#">Action</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Another action</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Something else here</a></li>
<li class="divider"></li>
<li><a href="#">Separated link</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
...
</ul>
</body>
</html>
Does anyone see the problem? Thanks.

Solution : The dropdown should be toggled via data attributes or using javascript. In the above program, we have forgotten to add a data attribute so the dropdown is not working. So add data-bs-toggle="dropdown" to toggle the dropdown.
In your case you have overflow:hidden on . row which holds the menu and therefore the dropdown menu will never show because it overflows the container. For the element called . row that holds the menu you will need to use another clearing mechanism instead of overflow:hidden.
To open the dropdown menu, use a button or a link with a class of . dropdown-toggle and the data-toggle="dropdown" attribute. The . caret class creates a caret arrow icon (), which indicates that the button is a dropdown.
By default, a dropdown menu is automatically positioned 100% from the top and along the left side of its parent. Add . dropdown-menu-right to a . dropdown-menu to right align the dropdown menu.
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>
