``` #### **Section 2: JavaScript Toggle Logic** ```javascript // PROFILE DROPDOWN - TOGGLE if (profileToggle && profileDropdown) { profileToggle.addEventListener('click', function (e) { e.stopPropagation(); profileDropdown.classList.toggle('hidden'); }); // PROFILE DROPDOWN - CLOSE when clicking outside document.addEventListener('click', function (e) { if (!profileToggle.contains(e.target) && !profileDropdown.contains(e.target)) { profileDropdown.classList.add('hidden'); } }); // PROFILE DROPDOWN - CLOSE when clicking inside (except form) profileDropdown.querySelectorAll('a').forEach(link => { link.addEventListener('click', function () { profileDropdown.classList.add('hidden'); }); }); } ``` --- ## 🎨 **Styling Details** | Element | Style | |---------|-------| | **User Image** | 40x40px, rounded-full, orange border (2px) | | **Avatar** | Orange background (#f97316), white text, centered | | **Dropdown Box** | 192px wide, white bg, shadow, border | | **Menu Items** | Gray text, hover gray background | | **Logout** | Red text, red hover background | | **Border** | Between user info and menu items | --- ## 🔧 **How It Works** ### **Step 1: User Image Detection** ``` Check 1: Does user have 'img' column value? ✓ YES → Show that image ✗ NO → Continue to Step 2 Check 2: Does user have 'photo' column value? ✓ YES → Show that image ✗ NO → Continue to Step 3 Check 3: Show auto-generated avatar → First letter of name in orange circle ``` ### **Step 2: Dropdown Toggle** ``` User clicks profile image ↓ JavaScript preventDefault (e.stopPropagation) ↓ Toggle 'hidden' class on dropdown ↓ Dropdown shows/hides with animation ``` ### **Step 3: Auto-Close** ``` User clicks outside dropdown → Dropdown closes User clicks Profile link → Navigate to profile.edit route → Dropdown closes User clicks Logout → Submit logout form ``` --- ## 🧪 **Testing** ### **Test 1: Profile Image Shows** ``` 1.
