When using React JS, I encountered an issue when trying to trigger a dropdown that was nested inside a div with the class name "row". Initially, I placed the data-toggle and data-target attributes inside the div, like so:
<div className="row">
<div
className="col-lg-6"
id="dropdownMenuButton"
data-toggle="dropdown"
aria-haspopup="true"
aria-expanded="false"
>
<div className="times">
<span className="dot" />
<span className="dot" />
<span className="dot" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
Unfortunately, this configuration resulted in the following error message:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'setAttribute' of null
After some troubleshooting, I found that moving the data-toggle attribute outside of the "row" class resolved the issue. However, this solution was not ideal as it caused the trigger length to be equal to the width of the entire "row".
