Hi there,

I am doing the codecademy bootstrap project “adhoc”. For some reason my navbar button won’t display the links when collapsed. I would appreciate your help. Here’s my code.

<body>
    <nav class="navbar navbar-light navbar-expand-md bg-light">
        <a class="navbar-brand"><img
                src="https://content.codecademy.com/courses/learn-bootstrap-4/adhoc/logo.png?_gl=1*1oqdye0*_ga*NDYyMjI2MzA5Ny4xNjcyNTg2NDMw*_ga_3LRZM6TM9L*MTY3NDIwNzkyNC40MS4xLjE2NzQyMTA1NjAuMC4wLjA."
                alt="AdHoc Logo" height="30">
        </a>
        <button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapsibleNavbar">
            <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
        </button>
        <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="collapsibleNavbar">
            <ul class="navbar-nav px-2">
                <li class="nav-item px-2 "><a class="nav-link" href="#"></a>Home</a></li>
                <li class="nav-item px-2 "><a class="nav-link" href="#"></a>About Us</a></li>
                <li class="nav-item px-2 "><a class="nav-link" href="#"></a>Our Team</a></li>
                <li class="nav-item px-2 "><a class="nav-link" href="#"></a>Contact Us</a></li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </nav>
</body>

But isn’t that the purpose of it? That everything inside the collapse container becomes invisible when collapsed?
Can you provide a link to the exercise?

thank you for your reply

you can find the exercise here: https://www.codecademy.com/courses/learn-bootstrap/projects/adhoc-bootstrap

and my github project here: adHoc

what i meant to say was that the links are not displayed in smaller screens

From the Bootstrap docs:

  • Navbars require a wrapping .navbar with .navbar-expand{-sm|-md|-lg|-xl|-xxl} for responsive collapsing and color scheme classes.

So try navbar-expand-sm rather than navbar-expand-md.

If you are using bootstrap 5, try changing the data-toggle and data-target like this (adding bs in between the dashes):

        <button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#collapsibleNavbar">
            <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
        </button>

The reason is that they changed it on the latest version. Give it a try and let me know.

Cheers!

thanx for your reply

unfortunately that didn’t work

the funny thing is that when i copy paste my code from visual studio to the codecademy editor it works fine. so i reckon it must be sth else maybe sth between the tags

Try adding Bootstrap’s JS scripts right before the body closing tag. Below all your code.

You can find it here
