Burger menu works on home screen but not separate about page

I initially had an issue with the burger menu before but was a simple spelling mistake that I didn't spot. however, this time seems more complicated. I am now making separate pages for the section of my website such as About Me, Education, etc. I have only started with the About Me page. The burger menu works on the Home page but not the About page. I have each file inside its own folder to keep it tidy.

Solution

  • So i've tried to recreate the issue you mentioned and i got the following error message regarding the menuIcon element:

    Uncaught ReferenceError: Cannot access 'menuIcon' before initialization at window.onscroll (main.js:25:3)

    This error message indicates that there is an attempt to access the variable menuIcon before it has been initialized. In the code provided, menuIcon is initialized using document.querySelector('#menu-icon'); which searches for an element in the HTML document with the ID of "menu-icon" and assigns it to the menuIcon variable. However, the code that is triggering the error is located in the window.onscroll function, which runs whenever the user scrolls the page. It attempts to toggle the bx-x class on menuIcon when the user clicks on it. Since the menuIcon variable has not yet been initialized when the window.onscroll function runs, the error above is thrown.

    To fix the error, you should move the initialization of the menuIcon variable to the top of the JavaScript file, before the window.onscroll function. This way, the variable will be available for use throughout the file.

    /* ----SCROLL SECTION ACTIVE LINK---- */
...
/* ----TOGGLE ICON NAVBAR---- */
let menuIcon = document.querySelector('#menu-icon');
let navbar = document.querySelector('.navbar');

menuIcon.onclick = () => {
  menuIcon.classList.toggle('bx-x');
  navbar.classList.toggle('active');
};
window.onscroll = () => {
 ...
};
