            margin-left:200px;
            margin-top: 100px;
            }
            .button {

            margin: 10px;
            }
            .data{    
            width: 800px;
            display: none;
            text-align: justify;
            padding: 15px;         
            color:#000;
            }
            .alt{

            }

  22. Create a new jquery.js file in our DropDown folder and copy paste the above code into it.
  23. Now let’s create a file which will create some dropdown effect on the div .
  24. So in the DropDown folder create a new file called as Dropdown.js and write the following code in it:
  25. $(document).ready(function (){
                //this line to active the first div
                $('div.boxcontainer div.button:first-child div.data:nth-child(1)').show();
                //This for adding color in odd and even manner
                $('.button:odd').addClass('alt');
                $('.button:even').addClass('button');
                //this is for showing div on click event
                $('.button').click(function(){
                $(this).children().toggle("slow");
                
    });
            });
