Dropdown button isn't centering - html

Somehow my dropdown button isn't aligning in center when using the custom html in Clickfunnels. I'm not really that into coding maybe someone here could help me with it.
I already tried to add different text-aligns also with !important left, right, margins etc. but it would save me a lot of headaches if it would just always easily be centered.

Please run code it will center your drop down button

Made the changes to following 2 classes:
.dropbtn {
position: relative;
background: transparent;
color: white;
padding: 20px;
width: 150px;
font-size: 15px;
border: none;
font-weight: 900;
font-family: LATO;
transition: ease-in-out 0.8s;
text-align: center !important;
.dropdown {
position: relative;
text-align:center;
}

To center the elements inside your div class="dropdown">, style it with display: block; and text-align: center;

Why the links in the lower third of the buttons don't work?

I have a pure CSS Dropdown button and would like to keep it without JS.
However, I have the following problem; as soon as I click on the bottom third of one of the button links, only the Dropdown menu closes but the link is not opening. The links only work from the beginning of the text (up from the bottom). Everything below the text is not clickable or does not open the link. Everything above the beginning of the text is working fine. I hope I have described my problem understandably enough.
So my question is of course: where is my error or what do I have to fix in my code so that the entire surface of the buttons become clickable links?

I have now found a solution but it is only working inside the snippet, as soon as i integrate it into my website, the style is messed up because of the missing position i think so... :/
I have deleted the following values from my CSS:
.dropdown:focus .dropdown-content {transform:translateY(20px);}
.dropdown {position:relative;}
And replaced the following Values
.dropdown .dropdown-content {position:absolute; top:50%;}
With these values
.dropdown .dropdown-content {position:relative; margin-top:12px;}
As you can see in my new code, you can now click wherever you want and the link will work as it should work.

Focus is lost in 0.25 sec while it needs a longer time for click work.
I updated the transition time to 1 sec.

Ok, I have now my final CSS Dropdown solution that seem to work for me. I get inspired by this website https://lage.us/CSS-Onclick-Dropdown-Menu.html and its very slim code.
Thanks anyway to everyone who helped and gave some thought to the problem.

Side by side nav still doesnt work properly plus other issues

The sidebyside nav now displays something but shortens the original menu-text to only text-length (it should take the whole line). The links in the top line should be displayed next to each other but w/o boxes. I've tried everything w/o success. I want to do my code with as little scripting as possible, only HTML and CSS if possible.

Try using display:inline-block it will make all elements displayed on a block and use margin or padding to separate them.
A couple things: Only one element should have an specific value for id. The id is unique per element. Styling element inline and externally can sometimes make it difficult to troubleshoot a problem. My personal preference is one or the other except in certain cases.
The question may need more details. Here's what I think you want using flex I was able to position the links next to each other and the take up the whole line without boxes.

HTML/CSS Side dropdown on hover displays nothing

I am trying to get a side dropdown menu on hover, but nothing I tried thus far had any effect apart from shortening the containing div to just text.length. What am I doing wrong? Besides, I want to use as little scripting as possible, possibly only HTML and CSS.
Here comes the code...
<html>
<head>
<title>Thyra Kristin Lang</title>
<style>
body {
font-family: "Lato", sans-serif;
}
h1 {
font-size: xxx-large; text-align: center; text-decoration: underline; }

border-style: solid;
border-color: #f00000;

margin-bottom: 0;
}
.sidenav {
height: 100%;
<!-- width: 20%; -->
position: fixed;
z-index: 1;
top: 0;
left: 0;
background-color: transparent;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
.sidenav a {
padding: 5px;
text-decoration: none;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #f00000;
font-size: medium;

display: block;
}
.sidenav a:hover {

.sidenav .closebtn {

Hey there and welcome to StackOverflow, I wrote some code that seems to answer your question. Essentially what you're aiming to do is display a container on hover of a separate container. Try using the :hover event and the adjacent selector via css, this snippet achieves what you are looking for:
CSS
[name="divine"]:hover + .divine-content {
display: block;
}
notice the :hover event is being placed on your dropdown element and the + sign selector is used because the container you are attempting to show is adjacent to the element you are hovering over.

Dropdown from navigation bar

I have tried to follow this tutorial, but I can't seem to find out why the dropdown menu won't show up at all when hovering over the dropdown button in the nav bar.
This is the HTML part of the code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no" />
<link rel='stylesheet' href='https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css'>
</head>
<body>
<div id="main-container">
<div id="navbar" class="navbar">
New
Sales
Account
<div class="dropdown">
<button class="dropbtn">Dropdown
<i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i>
</button>
<div class="dropdown-content">
Link 1
Link 2
Link 3
</div>
</div>
</div>
<h3>Dropdown Menu inside a Navigation Bar</h3>
<p>Hover over the "Dropdown" link to see the dropdown menu.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
This is the CSS part of the code:
html {
height: 100%;
}
body {
margin: 0;
height: 100%;
font-family: "Poppins", sans-serif;
background-color: #00ff00;
}
#main-container {
padding: 16px;
margin-top: 30px;
}
#navbar {
overflow: hidden;
background-color: #333;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 30px;
z-index: 9999;
}
#navbar a.active {
text-decoration: underline;
}
.navbar a {
float: left;
display: block;
color: #f2f2f2;
text-align: center;
padding: 14px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 17px;
}
.new_sale {
background-color: green;
}
.dropdown {
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
}
.dropdown .dropbtn {
font-size: 16px;
border: none;
outline: none;
color: white;
padding: 14px 16px;
background-color: inherit;
font-family: inherit;
margin: 0;
}
.navbar a:hover, .dropdown:hover .dropbtn {
background-color: red;
}
.dropdown-content {
display: none;
position: absolute;
background-color: #f9f9f9;
min-width: 160px;
box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
z-index: 1;
}
.dropdown-content a {
float: none;
color: black;
padding: 12px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
display: block;
text-align: left;
}
.dropdown-content a:hover {
background-color: #ddd;
}
.dropdown:hover .dropdown-content {
display: block;
}
The problem is that you are hiding the content which goes over the boundaries of your navbar and dropdown.
You need to remove
overflow: hidden;
from your #navbar and .dropdown class, check this fiddle

Adding padding to a specific div makes my page menu double

When adding padding, margin, just general distance to a text element on my page, my top menu kind of "mirrors" down on the page and i get a non-functional second menu at the middle of the page. Identical to the second one, and cuts through all other elements like images, text, etc.. Colors and all other aspects are still retained on the new menu and on the page in general.

It has to do with absolute position in your .dropdown-content css definition.
Maybe take some time to understand how absolute positioning works:
