I wanted to share my workaround for anyone who may run into this…

One of her projects as part of a coding bootcamp she joined is to build a basic site with the HTML and CSS she’s learned. She experimented with a CSS-powered dropdown menu on her project site, and hit a snag with it, so I took a look at it last night.
