Technical Documentation Page - Build a Technical Documentation Page

Tell us what’s happening:

I have two problems. It seems like I have fullfilled these things, but apparently not. Where is my mistake?

  1. Each .main-section should have an id that matches the text of its first child, having any spaces in the child’s text replaced with underscores (_ ) for the id’s.
  2. Each .nav-link should have text that corresponds to the header text of its related section (e.g. if you have a “Hello world” section/header, your #navbar should have a .nav-link which has the text “Hello world”).

Your code so far

<h1>Introduction</h1><br>
<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><br>
<ul>
  <li><p>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.</p></li>
  <br>
  <li><p>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.</p></li>
  </ul>

<code>
x = 4;
</code>
<code>
x = 3;
</code>
<code>

</code>

<h1>JavaScript and Java</h1><br>
<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.

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.

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 id="Hello_world" class="main-section"> 
  <header>
    <h1>Hello world</h1><br>
    <p>To get started with writing JavaScript, open the Scratchpad and write your first "Hello world" JavaScript code:</p><br>
    <legend id="legendgrey">
      <p id="text_legendgrey"> function greetMe(yourName) { alert("Hello " + yourName); }
greetMe("World");</p>
</legend>
  </header>
  <br>
    </section>

 <section id="Variables" class="main-section"> 
  <header>
    <h1>
      Variables
    </h1>
    <br>
    <p>
      You use variables as symbolic names for values in your application. The names of variables, called identifiers, conform to certain rules.

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).

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.

Challenge: Technical Documentation Page - Build a Technical Documentation Page

Link to the challenge:

The issue is your header elements. They should contain only the text which matches the id of the corresponding .main-section elements and the text of the corresponding .nav-link elements. You have a lot of additional content inside the header elements, which will need to be moved elsewhere.

Thank you! While the second option worked out, I still dont see the answer with number 1! In each .main-section, I gave them the ID of the corresponding child. Any advice?

That test is failing for the same reason. The first child of the .main-section elements is the header element. So, the header should contain only text which matches the id attribute of the .main-section element.

EXAMPLE:

<section id="What_is_going_on" class="main-section"> 
  <header>What is going on</header>
