Tell us what’s happening:
It seems like I have all of the .nav-link are on my #navbar & have the same number of .nav-link as my .main-section
Help please
Your code so far

       <p>JavaScript is a cross-platform, object-oriented scripting language. It is a small and lightweight language. Inside a host environment (for example, a web browser), JavaScript can be connected to the objects of its environment to provide programmatic control over them.</p>
       <p>JavaScript contains a standard library of objects, such as Array, Date, and Math, and a core set of language elements such as operators, control structures, and statements. Core JavaScript can be extended for a variety of purposes by supplementing it with additional objects; for example:</p>
     <ul>
       <li>Client-side JavaScript extends the core language by supplying objects to control a browser and its Document Object Model (DOM). For example, client-side extensions allow an application to place elements on an HTML form and respond to user events such as mouse clicks, form input, and page navigation.</li>
       <li>Server-side JavaScript extends the core language by supplying objects relevant to running JavaScript on a server. For example, server-side extensions allow an application to communicate with a database, provide continuity of information from one invocation to another of the application, or perform file manipulations on a server.</li>
       </ul>

       <p>This guide assumes you have the following basic background:</p>
     <ul>
       <li>A general understanding of the Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW).</li>
       <li>Good working knowledge of HyperText Markup Language (HTML).</li>

     <header>JavaScript and Java</header>
       <p>JavaScript and Java are similar in some ways but fundamentally different in some others. The JavaScript language resembles Java but does not have Java's static typing and strong type checking. JavaScript follows most Java expression syntax, naming conventions and basic control-flow constructs which was the reason why it was renamed from LiveScript to JavaScript.</p>
       <p>In contrast to Java's compile-time system of classes built by declarations, JavaScript supports a runtime system based on a small number of data types representing numeric, Boolean, and string values. JavaScript has a prototype-based object model instead of the more common class-based object model. The prototype-based model provides dynamic inheritance; that is, what is inherited can vary for individual objects. JavaScript also supports functions without any special declarative requirements. Functions can be properties of objects, executing as loosely typed methods.</p>
       <p>JavaScript is a very free-form language compared to Java. You do not have to declare all variables, classes, and methods. You do not have to be concerned with whether methods are public, private, or protected, and you do not have to implement interfaces. Variables, parameters, and function return types are not explicitly typed.</p>
   </section>
   <section class="main-section" id="Hello_world">
     <header>Hello world</header>
       <p>To get started with writing JavaScript, open the Scratchpad and write your first "Hello world" JavaScript code:</p>
       <code>function greetMe(yourName) { alert("Hello " + yourName); } greetMe("World");</code>
       <p>Select the code in the pad and hit Ctrl+R to watch it unfold in your browser!<p>
   </section>
   <section class="main-section" id="Variables">
     <header>Variables</header>
     <p>You use variables as symbolic names for values in your application. The names of variables, called identifiers, conform to certain rules.</p>
     <p>A JavaScript identifier must start with a letter, underscore (_), or dollar sign ($); subsequent characters can also be digits (0-9). Because JavaScript is case sensitive, letters include the characters "A" through "Z" (uppercase) and the characters "a" through "z" (lowercase).</p>
     <p>You can use ISO 8859-1 or Unicode letters such as å and ü in identifiers. You can also use the Unicode escape sequences as characters in identifiers. Some examples of legal names are Number_hits, temp99, and _name.</p>
   </section>
   <section class="main-section" id="Declaring_variables">
     <header>Declaring variables</header>
     <p>You can declare a variable in three ways:</p>
     <p>A With the keyword var. For example:</p>
     <code>ar x = 42.</code>
     <p>This syntax can be used to declare both local and global variables.</p>
     <p>By simply assigning it a value. For example:</p>
     <code>x = 42.</code>
     <p>This always declares a global variable. It generates a strict JavaScript warning. You shouldn't use this variant.</p>
     <p>With the keyword let. For example,</p>
     <code>Let y = 13.</code>
     <p>This syntax can be used to declare a block scope local variable. See Variable scope below.</p>
   </section>
   <section class="main-section" id="Variable_scope">
     <header>Variable scope</header>
     <p>When you declare a variable outside of any function, it is called a global variable, because it is available to any other code in the current document. When you declare a variable within a function, it is called a local variable, because it is available only within that function.</p>
     <p>JavaScript before ECMAScript 2015 does not have block statement scope; rather, a variable declared within a block is local to the function (or global scope) that the block resides within. For example the following code will log 5, because the scope of x is the function (or global context) within which x is declared, not the block, which in this case is an if statement.A With the keyword var. For example:</p>
     <code>aif (true) { var x = 5; } console.log(x); // 5</code>
     <p>This behavior changes, when using the let declaration introduced in ECMAScript 2015.</p>
     <code>if (true) { let y = 5; } console.log(y); // ReferenceError: y is not defined</code>

you didnt close a elements of navigation at all.

code for navigation should go on top of the page,
because navigation is first thing you’re seeing.

this has nothing to do with it’s position to the left, which you modify via CSS

opps thanks for pointing that out

thanks I completely missed that

Thanks for all of the help however I am still getting an error with the step “You should have the same number of .nav-link and .main-section elements.”
I have 7 .nav-link and 7 .main.section

can you send your updated code?

@DobarBREND what do you make of this?

I’ve been looking at it for a while now and still can’t see what’s wrong, besides that
he didn’t close </ul>.

Which you should of course do, OP!

But test doesnt let me pass even when I fix it.
So I’m baffled. :confused:

  • You have duplicated ids in all ‘li’ elements and ‘section’ elements:
<li id="What_you_should_already_know">
<section class="main-section" id="What_you_should_already_know">

(This is not allowed in the HTML code)

  • The closing HTML tag goes at the end of the code:
<html lang="en"></html>
  • The following ‘section’ element is not closed:
 <section class="main-section" id="Variable_scope">
  • This is not valid order of the closing tags:
 </main>
</body>
   </section

At the end of the code you should have something like this:

    </section>
   </main>
  </body>
</html>

you forgot to close a element here!!!
took me forever, i just checked on wc3 validator at last

Thank you so much @diomed, @DobarBREND & @anon42932716 I definitely forgot to close the element and for you all you advice
