I have a dropdown nav menu (using css from w3schools) that works fine until a carousel is put immediately after. Then the dropdown no longer shows and I do not know why. I am new to css html .., so I don't find the solution to my problem. I have changed the Z-index and position on multiple classes and it doesn't solve the issue. Whenever i delete the bootstrap css link then the dropdown menu works again. Do you have any suggestions? thanks!
ps: i put all the code, sorry if i added more than the required, its my first time posting
