Answer 1

You need to toggle the class is-active using JavaScript. When .dropdown has .is-active it changes the display of .dropdown-menu from none to block.

Here is a basic way to implement it.

var dropdown = document.querySelector('.dropdown');
dropdown.addEventListener('click', function(event) {
  event.stopPropagation();
  dropdown.classList.toggle('is-active');
});
