I personally wouldn’t waste time creating websites for computers, it’s better to dedicate time to creating mobile sites first.

I can get some help on chat.gpt.

The request was:

When hovering the mouse I need it to change from this:

<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a class="dropdown-toggle nav-link" aria-expanded="false" data-bs-toggle="dropdown" href="#">Dropdown </a>
<div class="dropdown-menu">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">First Item</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Second Item</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Third Item</a>
</div>
</li>

For this:

<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a class="dropdown-toggle nav-link show" aria-expanded="true" data-bs-toggle="dropdown" href="#">Dropdown </a>
<div class="dropdown-menu show" data-bs-popper="static">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">First Item</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Second Item</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Third Item</a>
</div>
</li>

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
  var dropdownNavItem = document.querySelector('.nav-item.dropdown');

  // Adiciona classes ao passar o mouse
  dropdownNavItem.addEventListener('mouseover', function() {
    var dropdownToggle = this.querySelector('.dropdown-toggle');
    var dropdownMenu = this.querySelector('.dropdown-menu');

    dropdownToggle.classList.add('show');
    dropdownMenu.classList.add('show');
  });

  // Remove classes ao tirar o mouse
  dropdownNavItem.addEventListener('mouseout', function() {
    var dropdownToggle = this.querySelector('.dropdown-toggle');
    var dropdownMenu = this.querySelector('.dropdown-menu');

    dropdownToggle.classList.remove('show');
    dropdownMenu.classList.remove('show');
  });
});

You do it like this with CSS

@media (min-width: 768px) {
  .dropdown:hover > .dropdown-menu {
    display: block;
  }
}

@media (min-width: 768px) {
  .dropdown > .dropdown-toggle:active {
    pointer-events: none;
  }
}

So there are multiple menus in my navbar that are multidropdown, they all perform the dropdown expansion automatically when my mouse cursor is placed over it, but I want one of the dropdown to expand manually, how do I do this? It is also said that there is a dropdown in the dropdown column, I want to make this secondary dropdown can only be manually expanded, and other dropdown are automatically expanded, how can I achieve? could you help me? thank you

You could update @kuligaposten code to:

@media (min-width: 768px) {
    .dropdown:hover:not(.manual)  > .dropdown-menu  {
      display: block;
    }
  }
  
  @media (min-width: 768px) {
    .dropdown:not(.manual)    > .dropdown-toggle:active {
      pointer-events: none;
    }
  }

Then add a class of manual to dropdowns you don’t want to open automatically
