I'm in the middle of learning JS so I'm new to it and self-learning. When I click the dropdown buttons my buttons don't stay active and open for half a second and close again. would anybody be able to walk me through how I can keep them open with JS? Here is my code so far! would appreciate the help! I didn't know a project by the way so that's why it's on Elon Musk lol.
let menu_icons = document.querySelector('.menu-icons'),
nav = document.querySelector('nav');
menu_icons.addEventListener('click', () => {
nav.classList.toggle('active');
});

You're pretty close. You need to change .nav-list li:active > .sub-menu to .nav-list li.active > .sub-menu and add some js to toggle the active class when a menu item is clicked:
let menu_lis = document.querySelectorAll('.nav-list li');
for (let menu_li of menu_lis) {
menu_li.addEventListener('click', () => {
menu_li.classList.toggle('active');
});
}
Here is a working example snippet.
let menu_icons = document.querySelector('.menu-icons');
let nav = document.querySelector('nav');
menu_icons.addEventListener('click', () => {
nav.classList.toggle('active');
});
let menu_lis = document.querySelectorAll('.nav-list li');
for (let menu_li of menu_lis) {
menu_li.addEventListener('click', () => {
menu_li.classList.toggle('active');
});
