Output
 
 
 
The given output is just a simple bootstrap button but to make it a dropdown button, we need to add some pre-defined tags of bootstrap.
  1. <button type="button" class="btn btn-default dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">  
And in the <ul> tag we need to add a class:
  1. <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">  
For example:
  1. <!DOCTYPE html>  
  2. <html lang="en">  
  3.     <head>

Output
 
 
 
Now we will split the button into two parts.
 
To do this we make two buttons, one is for the button with a name and the second button for a glyphicon.
