In order to highlight the current page in the navigation menu, one method is to use an active attribute on the nav-link of the respective page:
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link navLink active" href="userhome.php">Home</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link navLink" href="pool.php">Pool</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link navLink" href="tickets.php">Tickets</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link navLink" href="#">Winners</a>
</li>
</ul>
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link navLink " href="userhome.php">Home</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link navLink active" href="pool.php">Pool</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link navLink" href="tickets.php">Tickets</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link navLink" href="#">Winners</a>
</li>
</ul>
... and so forth
Are there any other options available using JavaScript or CSS?
