Bootstrap navbar dropdown not opening

Question

Bootstrap nav collapsing as expected but not displaying drop down when hamburger is clicked. JSFiddle example here - using: bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css and bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js as my two external resources.

I have found others stating that the data-target of the button needs to match the ID of the div that contains the collapsed navigation. In my case, data-target="#page-nav-tabs" and my div id="page-nav-tabs". But this still does not work....please help!

UPDATE: found the fix for the collapsed menu not opening - needed to include jquery scripts. Now, I still have the problem that the "Create New" drop down is not working.
