+# Authentication Dropdown Issue Analysis
+
+**Date**: 2025-06-25  
+**Issue**: Authentication dropdown menus completely non-functional
+
+## Root Cause Identified
+
+The authentication dropdown menus are not working due to **conflicting JavaScript implementations**:
+
+### Template Implementation (Correct)
+- Uses **Alpine.js** for dropdown functionality
+- Elements use Alpine.js directives:
+  - `x-data="{ open: false }"` - State management
+  - `@click="open = !open"` - Toggle functionality  
+  - `@click.outside="open = false"` - Close on outside click
+  - `x-show="open"` - Show/hide dropdown
+  - `x-cloak` - Prevent flash of unstyled content
+
+### Conflicting JavaScript (Problem)
+- `static/js/main.js` lines 84-107 contain **conflicting dropdown code**
+- Tries to handle dropdowns with element IDs that **don't exist** in template:
+  - `userMenuBtn` (doesn't exist)
+  - `userDropdown` (doesn't exist)
+- This JavaScript conflicts with Alpine.js functionality
+
+## Template Structure Analysis
+
+### Authenticated User Dropdown (Lines 143-199)
+```html
+<div class="relative" x-data="{ open: false }" @click.outside="open = false">
+  <!-- Profile Picture/Avatar Button -->
+  <div @click="open = !open" class="...cursor-pointer...">
+    <!-- Avatar or initials -->
+  </div>
+  
+  <!-- Dropdown Menu -->
+  <div x-cloak x-show="open" x-transition class="dropdown-menu...">
+    <!-- Menu items -->
+  </div>
+</div>
+```
+
+### Unauthenticated User Dropdown (Lines 202-246)
+```html
+<div class="relative" x-data="{ open: false }" @click.outside="open = false">
+  <!-- Generic User Icon Button -->
+  <div @click="open = !open" class="...cursor-pointer...">
+    <i class="text-xl fas fa-user"></i>
+  </div>
+  
+  <!-- Auth Menu -->
+  <div x-cloak x-show="open" x-transition class="dropdown-menu...">
+    <!-- Login/Register options -->
+  </div>
+</div>
+```
+
+## Solution Required
+
+**Remove conflicting JavaScript code** from `static/js/main.js` lines 84-107 that handles non-existent `userMenuBtn` and `userDropdown` elements.
+
+## Alpine.js Dependencies
+
+- ✅ Alpine.js loaded: `static/js/alpine.min.js`
+- ✅ Alpine.js script tag: Line 34 in base template
+- ✅ CSS for dropdowns: Lines 53-63 in base template
+- ✅ x-cloak styling: Lines 50-52 in base template
+
+## Expected Behavior After Fix
+
+1. User clicks on profile icon/user icon
+2. Alpine.js toggles `open` state
+3. Dropdown menu appears with transition
+4. Clicking outside closes dropdown
+5. Menu items are accessible for login/logout actions
