Hi, without a reproduction link (something like codesandbox), I would say it is not working because there is no JS associated with the markup you paste. See point 4. on the quick-start of flowbite
As a recommendation, I would not build a Dropdown like that because it is horrible on the accessibility side. I can't even use it with the keyboard at all in their example.
I would look at:
- https://www.radix-ui.com/primitives/docs/components/dropdown-menu
- https://react-spectrum.adobe.com/react-aria/Menu.html
Those components are doing the behavior without the style, so you can customize the visual of your component with tailwind and having a great accessibility and functionality already backed up.
