This is a responsive dropdown menu of W3 Schools. The problem is that when I click on dropdown1 and then click on dropdown2 to open the submenu, automatically the third link of dropdown2 is clicked. This is creating a bad user experience.

Also, I want that when the user clicks on dropdown1 to open the submenu then the user will be able to close dropdown1 when clicking on it again.
