Technical Documentation Page - Build a Technical Documentation Page

I’m unable to pass due to this error,
" Each .nav-link should have an href attribute that links to its corresponding .main-section (e.g. If you click on a .nav-link element that contains the text “Hello world”, the page navigates to a section element with that id)."

I’ve double and triple checked my code and they all should be linked. Any ideas?

                    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.

                <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.

            <article>

                To get started with writing JavaScript, open the Scratchpad and write
                your first "Hello world" JavaScript code:

                <code>
                    function greetMe(yourName) { alert("Hello " + yourName); }
                    greetMe("World");
          
                </code>


                Select the code in the pad and hit Ctrl+R to watch it unfold in your
                browser!

        <section class="main-section" id="Variables">
            <header>Variables</header>
            <article>
                <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.

            <article>
                You can declare a variable in three ways:
                <p>
                    With the keyword var. For example,
                    <code>var x = 42.</code>
                    This syntax can be used to declare both local and global variables.
                </p>
                <p>
                    By simply assigning it a value. For example,
                    <code>x = 42.</code>
                    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,
                    <code> let y = 13.</code>
                    This
                    syntax can be used to declare a block scope local variable. See
                    Variable scope below.
                </p>
            </article>

            <article>
                <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.
                </p>
                <code>if (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>
            </article>

        <section class="main-section" id="Global_variables">
            <header>Global variables</header>
            <article>
                <p>
                    Global variables are in fact properties of the global object. In web
                    pages the global object is window, so you can set and access global
                    variables using the window.variable syntax.
                </p>
                <p>
                    Consequently, you can access global variables declared in one window
                    or frame from another window or frame by specifying the window or
                    frame name. For example, if a variable called phoneNumber is
                    declared in a document, you can refer to this variable from an
                    iframe as parent.phoneNumber.

            <article>
                <p>
                    You can create a read-only, named constant with the const keyword.
                    The syntax of a constant identifier is the same as for a variable
                    identifier: it must start with a letter, underscore or dollar sign
                    and can contain alphabetic, numeric, or underscore characters.
                </p>
                <code>const PI = 3.14;</code>
                <p>
                    A constant cannot change value through assignment or be re-declared
                    while the script is running. It has to be initialized to a value.
                </p>
                <p>
                    The scope rules for constants are the same as those for let block
                    scope variables. If the const keyword is omitted, the identifier is
                    assumed to represent a variable.
                </p>
                <p>
                    You cannot declare a constant with the same name as a function or
                    variable in the same scope. For example:
                </p>
                <code>// THIS WILL CAUSE AN ERROR function f() {}; const f = 5; // THIS
                    WILL CAUSE AN ERROR ALSO function f() { const g = 5; var g;
                    //statements }
                </code>

                However, object attributes are not protected, so the following
                statement is executed without problems.
                <code>const MY_OBJECT = {"key": "value"}; MY_OBJECT.key =
                    "otherValue";</code>

            <header>Data types</header>
            <article>
                <p>The latest ECMAScript standard defines seven data types:</p>
                <ul>
                    <li>
                        <p>Six data types that are primitives:</p>
                        <ul>
                            <li>Boolean. true and false.</li>
                            <li>
                                null. A special keyword denoting a null value. Because
                                JavaScript is case-sensitive, null is not the same as Null,
                                NULL, or any other variant.
                            </li>
                            <li>
                                undefined. A top-level property whose value is undefined.
                            </li>
                            <li>Number. 42 or 3.14159.</li>
                            <li>String. "Howdy"</li>
                            <li>
                                Symbol (new in ECMAScript 2015). A data type whose instances
                                are unique and immutable.
                            </li>
                        </ul>
                    </li>
                    <li>and Object</li>
                </ul>

                Although these data types are a relatively small amount, they enable
                you to perform useful functions with your applications. Objects and
                functions are the other fundamental elements in the language. You can
                think of objects as named containers for values, and functions as
                procedures that your application can perform.
