Hi Im trying to create a dropdown button using bootstrap. But it just doesnt seem to come out correctly ?

<div class="btn-group">
    <a class="btn dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#">
        Action
        <span class="caret"></span>
    </a>
    <ul class="dropdown-menu">
        <li><a href="#">Foo</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Bar</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>

A jsfiddle is here http://jsfiddle.net/UrgP8/

Any ideas ?

Thanks,

    You are loading a hefty amount of external resources into jsfiddle by pasting what is practically the full boostrap html source into the html view.

    Here is a much more bare-bones version
    that loads only three external files.

    http://jsfiddle.net/BqKNV/65/

    The base html is the same (SO wouldn’t let me post without putting in code…)

    <div class="dropdown btn-group">
    <a class="btn dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#">
        Action
        <span class="caret"></span>
    </a>
    <ul class="dropdown-menu">
        <li><a href="#">Foo</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Bar</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>

    Note that jQuery is loaded via jsFiddle’s Framework panel,
    bootstrap css and js are loaded via the BootstrapCDN:

    //netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/twitter-bootstrap/2.3.2/css/bootstrap-combined.min.css
    //netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/twitter-bootstrap/2.3.2/js/bootstrap.min.js

    What happens if you save this html as a page, and run it in a browser?

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
      <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
      <title> - jsFiddle demo</title>
      <script type='text/javascript' src='http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.2.js'></script>
        <script type='text/javascript' src="http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/assets/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/assets/css/bootstrap.css">
    </head>
    <body>
      <div class="dropdown btn-group">
        <a class="btn dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#">
            Action
            <span class="caret"></span>
        </a>
        <ul class="dropdown-menu">
            <li><a href="#">Foo</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Bar</a></li>
        </ul>
      </div>
    </body>
    </html>
