Unresponsive Vanilla Bootstrap Navbar Links

I recently started working with the vanilla version of Bootstrap to create a universal template for a friend's websites. Although I have previous experience with Bootstrap and have never encountered any issues, I am now facing a problem. I want to clarify that I have not made any changes to the Bootstrap js or css code.

The main issue I am currently dealing with is that the links in the navbar are unclickable.

HTML Beginning

<head>
  <title>Comic Title - Update Schedule</title>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
  <? require "walrus.php"; ?>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bootstrap.css">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">
  <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
  <script src="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
  <script>
  $(document).ready(function(){
     $('.navbar-nav a[href]').click(function (e) { e.preventDefault(); });
  });
  </script>
  <style>
  .affix {
    top: 0;
    width: 100%;
  }

  .affix + .container-fluid {
    padding-top: 70px;
  }
  </style>
</head>
<body>

<div class="container-fluid" style="background-color:#00FF00;color:#fff;height:150px;">
  <h1>Example Header</h1>
  <h3>You'll probably want a cool image here.</h3>
</div>

<nav class="navbar navbar-default" data-spy="affix" data-offset-top="150" style="z-index: 1001;">
  <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
    <li><a class="link" href="#">Home</a></li>
    <li><a class="link" href="http://www.google.com">About</a></li>
    <li><a class="link" href="http://www.google.com">Characters</a></li>
    <li><a class="link" href="page.php?p=archive">Archive</a></li>
  </ul>
</nav>

I have explored multiple solutions on Stack Overflow, such as this and this, but none of them have provided a permanent fix.

Answer №1

Your current HTML script is causing the links to be unclickable.

Although anchor tags are supposed to be clickable by default, the jQuery function you are using includes the preventDefault method, which stops the default action of anchor tags, making them unclickable.

Best of luck!
