I recently encountered an issue with a dropdown menu on my website that's been driving me crazy. Initially, the dropdown menu only worked on every page except the homepage. It took me a while to figure out that I hadn't included the link to the Bootstrap JavaScript framework in the base.html file. After adding it, the dropdown menu started working everywhere except on the homepage. This seems like such a simple fix but for some reason, I just can't see what's causing the problem. Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the base.html code snippet:
{% load static %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>TUD Cinemas</title>
<!-- My own CSS Link -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'css/style.css' %}">
<!-- Bootstrap CSS Link -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css"

<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat:500&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<!-- Navigation Bar Goes Here -->
<div class="container basecontainer bg-light">
{% block content %}
{% endblock content %}
</div>

</html>
And here is the homepage.html code snippet:
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% block content %}
<html lang="en">

<body>

...
</ul>
<!-- The slideshow -->
<div class="carousel-inner">
<div class="carousel-item active">
<a href="{% url 'movies' %}">

</a>
</div>
...
</div>
<!-- Left and right controls -->

</div>
<div class="row my-4">
...
</div>
{% endblock content %}
