Nav bar dropdown menu with bootstrap doesn't work

Hello, I had this running but made changes and it does not work now and it is probably a typing error but I checked several times and could not find what the problem is. So here is the code

<header>      
  <div class="navbar navbar-default navbar-static-top" role="navigation" id="menu-1">
    <div class="navbarheader">
      <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
      <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
      <span class="icon-bar"></span>
      <span class="icon-bar"></span>
      <span class="icon-bar"></span>
      </button>
      <a class="brand pull-left" href="index.html">
      <img alt="Logo" src="img/logoedit3.png" class="img-responsive" id="logo">
      </a>
      <div class="navbar-collapse collapse">
        <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
          <li class="active"><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
          <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
          <li class="dropdown">
            <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">Services<b class="carret"></b></a>
              <ul class="dropdown-menu">
                <li><a href="construction.html">Construction</a></li>
                <li><a href="demolition.html">Demolition</a></li>
              </ul>
          </li>
          <li><a href="safety.html">Safety</a></li>
          <li><a href="employers.html">Employers</a></li>
          <li><a href="employees.html">Employees</a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.html">Contact us</a></li>
        </ul>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</header>

This piece is odd: 

<b class="carret"></b>

There is no b element that I'm aware of and can't find any documentation on a b element.

The b I know of is a tag that makes something bold.

Yes, I only use it so I can put that symbol in, I could do it with many other tags like <i> , but that part is working fine, however the services dropdown menu does not drop when it is clicked

Try removing the b altogether and then assigning the "caret" class to your anchor tag. See if you see a difference.
