I looked all over online to find a solution to multiple drop down menus in a navigation header but most of the solutions I found in tutorials involved duplicating a Javascript function that targets the individual ID of the parent container for the drop down.
A couple issues I found with this:
If each drop down has it's own function, then more than one drop down can be open at the same time.
Clicking anywhere else on the page to close the drop down was tricky and confusing.
Now, I know this is super simple to implement with something like Alpine.js (which in all reality I'd probably use in the real world instead) but I wanted to make this work with Vanilla JS, so this was the solution I came up with.
If anyone has feedback I'd really appreciate it!
