I am working on creating a responsive navbar that has a dropdown in it. Below is my code:
I have the CSS code and media queries inline for testing purpose. So it might look lengthy.

<link href="../../themes/bootstrap/starterkits/THEMENAME/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Raleway" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<style type="text/css">body {margin:0;font-family:Arial}
.topnav {
overflow: hidden;
background-color: #ffffff;
}
.home {
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
}
.topnav a {
float: right;
display: block;
color: #000000;
text-align: center;
padding: 14px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 17px;
}
.active {
background-color: #4CAF50;
color: white;
}
.topnav .icon {
display: none;
}
.dropdown {
float: right;
overflow: hidden;
}
.dropdown .dropbtn {
font-size: 17px;
border: none;
outline: none;
color: black;
padding: 14px 16px;
background-color: inherit;
margin: 0;
}
.dropdown-content {
display: none;
position: absolute;
background-color: #ffffff;
min-width: 160px;
box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
z-index: 1;
}
.dropdown-content a {
float: none;
color: black;
padding: 12px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
display: block;
text-align: left;
}
.topnav a:hover, .dropdown:hover .dropbtn {
background-color: #555;
color: #D5DBDB;
}
.dropdown-content a:hover {
background-color: #ddd;
color: black;
}
.dropdown:hover .dropdown-content {
display: block;
}
@media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
.topnav a:not(:first-child), .dropdown .dropbtn {
display: none;
}
.topnav a.icon {
float: right;
display: block;
}
}
@media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
.topnav.responsive {position: relative;}
.topnav.responsive .icon {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
top: 0;
}
.topnav.responsive a {
float: none;
display: block;
text-align: left;
}
.topnav.responsive .dropdown {float: none;}
.topnav.responsive .dropdown-content {position: relative;}
.topnav.responsive .dropdown .dropbtn {
display: block;
width: 100%;
text-align: left;
}
}
</style>
<div class="panel">
<div class="topnav" id="myTopnav">
<div class="home"><a href="#"><img src="../../sites/default/files/logo_0.png" /></a></div>
<div class="dropdown">
<div class="dropbtn"><a href="#">Programs</a></div>
<div class="dropdown-content"><a href="#">Success</a></div>
</div>
<a href="#">Contact</a>
<a href="#">Families</a>
<a href="#">About</a>
<a class="icon" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="myFunction()" style="font-size:15px;">☰</a></div>
</div>
<script>
function myFunction() {
var x = document.getElementById("myTopnav");
if (x.className === "topnav") {
x.className += " responsive";
} else {
x.className = "topnav";
}
}
</script>
The menu contains the Home logo image at the left and 4 menu items on the right.
After the active ‘home’ link is the ‘Programs’ drop-button that should have a dropdown ‘Success’ underneath it. This dropdown is not loading correctly and the design is distorted. Any help to fix this?

Answer
You don’t need your dropdown button to be a div tag, it should be a button tag.
So change
<div class="dropbtn"><a href="#">Programs</a></div>
to
<button class="dropbtn"><a style="padding: 0px" href="#">Programs</a></button>
This should the drop-down load correctly and inline with the other items in the navbar. Hopefully this helps you get on the right track without changing most of your original code.
