Topic: dropdown fails W3C validation
Chris Sweeney premium asked 4 years ago
I'm trying to get my pages to pass W3C validation, but the navbar fails at
<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a href="#" class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" id="navbarDropdownMenuLink" data-toggle="dropdown"
aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">Dropdown</a>
<div class="dropdown-menu dropdown-primary" aria-labelledby="navbarDropdownMenuLink">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a>
</div>
</li>
The W3C Error message is:Error: Element a is missing one or more of the following attributes: href, role. referring to the following line:
<a href="#" class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" id="navbarDropdownMenuLink" data-toggle="dropdown"
aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">Dropdown</a>
How may I fix this?

I've fixed this with the following:
<a href="#" class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" id="navbarDropdownMenuLink" data-toggle="dropdown"
aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">Dropdown</a>
and it now passes validation.

Hi Peter
You may want to update the examples (your code in my original post) to include the use of href="#"
