     <title>Hello, world!</title>
</head>
<body>

    <div>
        <nav class="navbar navbar-inverse">
        <div class="container-fluid">
            <div class="navbar-header">
                <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">WebSiteName</a>
            </div>
            <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
                <li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Page 1</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Page 2</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Page 3</a></li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </nav>
</div>


<h1>Hello, world!</h1>

</body>
</html>

The Menu looks as below Menu

But it should be as: Bootstrap Menu

Solution

  • Bootstrap 5

    Your issue is that navbar-inverse is not a valid class in Bootstrap 5. It was available in Bootstrap 3 but has been removed in later versions. Instead, you should use navbar-expand-lg navbar-dark bg-dark to achieve a black background with white text.

    Besides that, you have to make some other small changes to achieve the desired result:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.3/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-QWTKZyjpPEjISv5WaRU9OFeRpok6YctnYmDr5pNlyT2bRjXh0JMhjY6hW+ALEwIH" crossorigin="anonymous">
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.3/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js" integrity="sha384-0pUGZvbkm6XF6gxjEnlmuGrJXVbNuzT9qBBavbLwCsOGabYfZo0T0to5eqruptLy" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

<div>
  <nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-dark bg-dark">
    <div class="container-fluid">
      <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">WebSiteName</a>
      <button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#navbarNav" aria-controls="navbarNav" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
                        <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
                    </button>
      <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarNav">
        <ul class="navbar-nav">
          <li class="nav-item active">
            <a class="nav-link" href="#">Home</a>
          </li>
          <li class="nav-item">
            <a class="nav-link" href="#">Page 1</a>
          </li>
          <li class="nav-item">
            <a class="nav-link" href="#">Page 2</a>
          </li>
          <li class="nav-item">
            <a class="nav-link" href="#">Page 3</a>
          </li>
        </ul>
      </div>
    </div>
  </nav>
</div>

<h1>Hello, world!</h1>

    Bootstrap 3

    If you want to stick with your original code, you have to use Bootstrap 3 instead:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
