I've tried many different solutions and I'm stuck on this. Anyone got a solution? Thanks in advance!

Give the li element on line 24 Bootstrap's class for defining a dropdown.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Ribbit - A Treehouse Project</title>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <link href="css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">
    <link href="css/bootstrap-theme.min.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">
  </head>
  <body>

    <!-- Navbar -->
    <div class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top">
      <div class="container">
        <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
          <span class="icon-bar"></span>
          <span class="icon-bar"></span>
          <span class="icon-bar"></span>
        </button>
        <a class="navbar-brand text-muted" href="#">Ribbit</a>
        <div class="collapse navbar-collapse">
          <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
            <li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">About Ribbit</a></li>
            <li class="toggle-topbar menu-icon">
              <a data-target="#">Treehouse<b class="caret"></b></a>
              <ul>
                <li><a href="#">About Treehouse</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Video Library</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Learning Adventures</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Plans &amp; Pricing</a></li>
                <li role="separator" class="divider"><a href="#">Plans &amp; Pricing</a></li>              </ul>
            </li>
          </ul>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div><!-- End navbar -->

    <script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

Pretty straightforward! You can check Bootstrap's documentation here to get more in depth info but basically to define a dropdown you just add the 'dropdown' class!

So line 24 would look like:

<li class="dropdown">

I think I've been overthinking much of this section. Thanks!
