Fixing Navbar Link Color Change with jQuery on Scroll

As a beginner web developer, encountering challenges while building your webpage is totally normal. One common issue is when you use jQuery to change the background color of a navbar as you scroll, but notice that the link colors do not change to match the new background. This guide will walk you through the steps to ensure that your navbar links become visible by changing their color dynamically. Let’s dive in!

Understanding the Problem

In your initial setup, you have a navbar that changes its background color to white when scrolling down the page. However, the color of the links in your navbar is also white, making them invisible against the white background. The objective here is to change the link colors to a more suitable color (like black) when the background color changes to ensure proper visibility.

The jQuery Solution

To tackle this issue, you need to modify the jQuery code slightly and adjust the CSS classes being used. Here’s how to implement this solution step-by-step:

Step 1: Identify the jQuery Code

You currently have jQuery code that adds or removes the class nav-color based on the scroll position. Here's the original code for reference:

Step 2: Modify the CSS Class for Links

You'll need to change the CSS selector for changing the link color. Instead of applying the color change universally with .nav-color a, you should use a more specific selector. Replace the current CSS rule:

with this:

Step 3: Explanation of the Change

The new CSS rule .header-1.nav-color a specifies that only the links within the .header-1 class when it also has the nav-color class applied will have their color changed. This ensures that the styles won't affect other links outside the navbar.

Summary of CSS Changes

Here’s a summarized version of what you need to implement in your CSS file:

Conclusion

By following these simple steps, you can effectively change the link color of your navbar when scrolling, ensuring that they remain visible against the background. This adjustment not only enhances the user experience but also improves the overall design of your website.

Don't hesitate to experiment with different colors that may work better for your design preferences. Happy coding!
