As I develop the navigation bar for my website, I am faced with a challenge. I want to create a button-like behavior where clicking on an li element triggers a drop-down section underneath it without using the # attribute to prevent jumping to the top of the page. While researching online, I came across two different jQuery snippets:
$('li').click(function() {
$(this).siblings().removeClass('active');
$(this).addClass('active');
});
and
$('li').click(function() {
$(this).addClass('active').siblings().removeClass('active')
});
Despite trying various modifications like adding multiple classes or changing the active class to an id, I have not been able to get the desired outcome.
Interestingly, when testing this code on platforms like CodePen or JSFiddle, it works perfectly fine. However, I encounter issues when running it in my own browser using the VisualStudio emulator.
