Adding multiple dropdown menu's next to each other using JS, HTML and CSS

I am trying to get multiple dropdown menu's next to each other, however I am running into a problem. I have the two categories I want to have as dropdown in the header, however only 1 of them seems to work. With the non-working dropdown menu nothing happens when I click on it.
let click = document.querySelector('.click');
let list = document.querySelector('.list');
click.addEventListener("click", () => {
list.classList.toggle('newlist');
});

querySelector will pick up the first matching element, whereas querySelectorAll will get a collection of all matching elements. You need to iterate through the elements to apply the listener. This solution clears out any open nav menus when the other is clicked. Also, it makes use of the [...] spread operator to iterate through elements. I added a new class navitem so that each submenu would show where it should.
let click = document.querySelectorAll('.click');
let list = document.querySelectorAll('.list');
const showSub = (e) => {
[...list].forEach(el => el.classList.remove('newlist')); // reset
e.target.parentNode.querySelector('.list').classList.toggle('newlist');
// this also works
//e.target.nextElementSibling.classList.toggle('newlist');
}
[...click].forEach(el => el.addEventListener("click", showSub));

The way querySelector works, is it returns the first matching DOM element. In your case, because you use the click class for both buttons, the listener is only attached to the first one. Check out relevant documentation (at the return value header).
In this case I would suggest either using two classes and adding listeners to both separately, or accessing both buttons using someting like:
let clicks = document.querySelectorAll('.click');
for (let click of clicks) {
click.addEventListener("click",()=>{
list.classList.toggle('newlist');
});
}

You need a forEach to address every button-list pair.
I believe the below code solves your JavaScript issues. Adjust the CSS as needed (I have changed the original HTML a little).
let drops = document.querySelectorAll('.drop');
drops.forEach(function(drop) {
let click = drop.querySelector('.click');
let list = drop.querySelector('.list');
click.addEventListener("click", () => {
list.classList.toggle('newlist');
});
});

CSS text align center is off

I have an html page which is using center aligned text. For some reason, the top title (#pageTitle id) is off by a bit, and looks like it has some added whitespace to the left of it. I tried to reproduce the problem here, but in the stack overflow editor, the formatting was completely wonky. Hopefully the scripts will be able to run on your machines. If anyone has any insight as to why this is happening I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

The title got padding because before you move it using left top and transform the logo image (which have float attribute) take a place at the left.
If you remove the top left and transform from the mainDiv you will see following:
This is where this whitespace come from.
You should add an element to clear:both under the toolbar (see snipped below)

padding: 0;
margin: 0;

.clear{clear:both}

You can use flex to align items which makes it easier:
body {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
display: flex;
align-items: 'center';
justify-content: 'center';
}
.totalCenter {
display: flex;
justify-content: 'center';
}
When you set the display property to flex of a class you can use these properties:
align-items : aligns items vertically.
justify-content : alings items horizontally.
Flex is really cool if you cant to know more you can check out these two articles:

I put the navbar above the header if that affects anything.

This is how I would handle this. But note that you will have to do some responsive styles. I put in a fail safe so you dont have bad overlapping. Note that it looks alittle off on the code snippet because its so small, you should check it out by pasting it in a fresh html file.

How do I get a div to move with window resize without pushing other divs out of the way?

I've spent a long time trying to get this working.
I have a section called "RightExtra" and a div inside it called "RightExtraContent". I'm trying to make it so that these two divs can move freely when the window is resized up to a certain point, without affecting the position of any other divs.
Here is a visual explanation of what I mean:

In order to achieve this, I increased the width of the wrapper and moved the new div into it.

Cannot hack pass css plugin to make two input elements appears in-line?

I'm using a plugin for drop down menu. The link for plugin is here.. I want to add this code, into already made html code, but first I wanted to tested. So, far it all works fine until I try to make two copies of widget and make them appear side by side. The default is for input element to appear in-line but the plugin css is pushing it down turning into a single column (stacked) I don't want this. Here is HTML code.

}
<style>
#category, #category_1{

Please guide me. Thanks.

Add this to your css:
div.test > div {
float: left;
width: 408px;
margin-right: 20px;
}

According to the plugin page:
NOTE: The initial element that you apply the plug-in to is destroyed
and replaced with a new input element with the same id attribute.
While the mcDropdown() method does not destroy the jQuery chain, it
does effectively return a "dirty" reference (since the original
element no longer exists.) Because of this, you'll want to make sure
that the mcDropdown() method is the last call in your chain. Also, if
you plan on caching a reference to the element, you will need to
create the cached instance after you initiated the widget.
Honestly I'm not even sure if that's related.
But your code (albeit not functioning as advertised) is lining up the way you want when I look at it.
Here's a fiddle for you to see what I see.
Keep in mind of course that I'm not sure why it's not functioning properly. I put it on my desktop and replicated the whole example as-is and still nothing. But the input boxes are nice and neat :)
I did notice you left off the jquery.bgiframe.js file but I don't think that's necessary.
