Bootstrap Dropdown NavBar Button Not Working

Question

I've been using Bootstrap to make a navbar, and the dropdown button hasn't been doing anything when I click on it. What could be the issue?

My theory : I don't know if it is the navbar data-target, but changing that seemed to not do anything?

My burger does appear, but it does not have a function to when it is clicked? Could it be a JS problem, or a bad stylesheet link/script link?

Also, you've tagged Bootstrap 4, but you've loaded Bootstrap 5 in your demo/site. They have different attribute spelling. Which is correct? — isherwood, Nov 16 '21 at 20:32

Problem / Resolution : Bootstrap 5.0. data-bs-toggle and data-bs-target in navbar-toggler.

Fix :

<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#navbarSupportedContent" aria-controls="#navbarSupportedContent" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
         <span class="navbar-toggler-icon">
               <i class="fas fa-bars" style="color:#fff; font-size:28px;"></i>
         </span>
</button>
