AppsScript -> WebApp -> BootStrap v5.3 Navbar drowndowns don't work?

Given the full-fat Navbar from BootStrap v5.3 https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.3/components/navbar/

(https://i.sstatic.net/yyjZK.png)

Given an AppsScript WebApp project with the CSS linked in the head and the JS linked just before the end of the body, the dropdown in the navbar doesn't work.Note that the search button does work so the javascript part seems okay?

Here's the code for the Apps Script

Started a fresh webapp page with only the bootstrap navbar and relevant js and css links. Expected the dropdown menu to drop down.

To reproduce this, create an appscript project, add an html file, call it about and copy paste the above code into it. Then in Code.js, add this

    function doGet(request) {
 return HtmlService.createTemplateFromFile('about')
     .evaluate();
}
Solution

  • Your code works by removing this:

    <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js" integrity="sha384-w76AqPfDkMBDXo30jS1Sgez6pr3x5MlQ1ZAGC+nuZB+EYdgRZgiwxhTBTkF7CXvN" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

    The bootstrap navbar dropdown is working. In your code you are including two bootstrap frameworks. As per documentation in the bootstrap website: CDN via jsDelivr, if you are going to include popper you just have to use the following:

    Do not include the bootstrap.bundle which might be causing them to conflict.

    The modified code should be like this for the dropdown to work:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
