I’m trying to create a drop down menu that exposes the content when it’s hovered over. I didn’t know how to do it myself so I referenced W3school’s collapsible tutorial’s code.
In the tutorial the collapsible opens when clicked on, and I was able to make it open when hovered over, but it’s automatically closes when I try and hover over the content within. I need it to stay open when I hover over the internal content. I don’t really know any js though so could someone help me?

var coll = document.getElementsByClassName("collapsible");2
var i;3

for (i = 0; i < coll.length; i++) {5
coll[i].addEventListener("mouseover", function() {6
this.classList.toggle("active");7
var content = this.nextElementSibling;8
if (content.style.maxHeight){9
content.style.maxHeight = null;10
} else {11
content.style.maxHeight = content.scrollHeight + "px";12
} 13
});14
}15

You need to handle the mouseenter and mouseleave event, but please do a container for both of the elements so that you can refer those events to it (as it includes both elements)
