I think Yes you should add additional JavaScript code.
function selectedItem(id) {
$("ul>li>a").removeClass("active");
$("#" + id).addClass("active");
}
.active {
background-color: red;
}

This is how you can add a dropdown to your navbar menu item. Don't forget to add Bootstrap CDN's for CSS and JS in your HTML file. Also, you don't need navbar-bottom class to make the navbar horizontal.

Your CSS style should be
.header-container .navbar-brand {
width: auto;
height: 100%;
}
Suggestions -> Don't use font tag, instead use css to style font. its way long back old method to style html element.
Always use HTML5 Semantic tags. :)
Remove flex-grow:1 from .navbar-collapse or add flex-grow-0 class.
and justify content property- justify-content:space-between or add justify-content-between class.
.navbar-collapse {
-ms-flex-preferred-size: 100%;
flex-basis: 100%;
-ms-flex-positive: 1;
flex-grow: 1; /*Remove this property */
-ms-flex-align: center;
align-items: center;
}
.row {
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: flex;
-ms-flex-wrap: wrap;
flex-wrap: wrap;
justify-content: space-between; /* add this property */
margin-right: -15px;
margin-left: -15px;
}
To align the menu towards right add float-right class.
<div class="row justify-content-between align-items-center float-right
">
<div class="navbar-collapse collapse show" id="navbarResponsive" style="">
<ul class="navbar-nav">

Using bootstrap add to left <ul> after brand, class justify-content-end and if you want your menu also to be centered add class justify-content-center to div, what surrounds <ul class="navbar-nav">
Also your could add some bottom space to brand to separate it from menu by adding class, for example , mb-3 to it
Should be something like this
<div class="row">
<ul class="collapse navbar-collapse navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="mailto:info#rotterdamsteelworks.nl" style="color:#2A5AA4;"><small><i class="fas fa-envelope"></i> Stuur e-mail</small></a>

</li>
</ul>
<a class="navbar-brand mb-3" href="index.php"><img class="img-fluid" src="img/logo.png" width="500" alt="Rotterdam Steel Works"></a>

Moving one item on navigation's bar on the right

I can not find a way to move my navigation's last item (from the left) to the right side of the bar with Bootstrap styling
There are bunch of solutions, how to move all items to the right, but I need only my dropdown menu on the right side of the bar.
How can I do that, using only Bootstrap CSS classes?
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarNavDropdown">
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item active">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Home<span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">About</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Contact</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item dropdown navbar-right">
<a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="#" id="navbarDropdownMenuLink" role="button" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
My account
</a>
<div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="navbarDropdownMenuLink">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
You have to separate the navs, all left navs in one and right navs in another which will have class navbar-right.
Try this HTML structure:

Bootstrap 4 - Navbar items outside the collapse

Ok so I have to admit this is something I have always struggled with getting to work correctly even in BS3. But I want to have navbar links outside of the collapsed container that stay persistent.
This is what I have right now:
<nav class="navbar fixed-top navbar-expand-lg navbar-template">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Navbar</a>
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarNavDropdown">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarNavDropdown">
<ul class="navbar-nav ml-auto">
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Home</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Features</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Pricing</a></li>
<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="http://example.com" id="navbarDropdownMenuLink" data-toggle="dropdown">Dropdown link</a>
<div class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-right">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#"><span class="fa fa-facebook"></span></a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#"><span class="fa fa-twitter"></span></a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#"><span class="fa fa-youtube"></span></a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#"><span class="fa fa-linkedin"></span></a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
This works until the first nav is in a collapsed state. When the collapse is active it looks like this:
Has anyone found a clean solution for this?
The simplest way is using the flexbox utility classes, so no extra CSS is needed. Keep the items you always want to show out of the navbar-collapse div.

<nav class="navbar fixed-top navbar-light navbar-expand-lg navbar-template">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Navbar</a>
<div class="d-flex flex-row order-2 order-lg-3">
<ul class="navbar-nav flex-row">
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link px-2" href="#"><span class="fa fa-facebook"></span></a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link px-2" href="#"><span class="fa fa-twitter"></span></a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link px-2" href="#"><span class="fa fa-youtube"></span></a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link px-2" href="#"><span class="fa fa-linkedin"></span></a></li>
</ul>
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarNavDropdown">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
</div>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse order-3 order-lg-2" id="navbarNavDropdown">
<ul class="navbar-nav ml-auto">
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Home</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Features</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Pricing</a></li>
<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" href="http://example.com" id="navbarDropdownMenuLink" data-toggle="dropdown">Dropdown link</a>
<div class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-right">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
Notice the use the responsive order-* classes to ensure the collapse menu items remain last (order-3) when in the collapsed/mobile breakpoint.
