Topic: Issue with Navbar Responsiveness in MDB Standard v5.1.0

Castle Keepers free asked 4 days ago


Hi, I’m working on a firearms training website using MDB Standard v5.1.0. I set up a responsive navbar with a toggler for mobile view, but the collapse/expand behavior isn’t working properly. On smaller screens, the menu button appears, but clicking it doesn’t expand the navigation links.

I followed the docs and included the required CSS/JS files, but maybe I’m missing something. MDB Navbar Test Castle Keepers

  <!-- Toggler -->
  <button
    class="navbar-toggler"
    type="button"
    data-mdb-toggle="collapse"
    data-mdb-target="#navbarNav"
    aria-controls="navbarNav"
    aria-expanded="false"
    aria-label="Toggle navigation"
  >
    <i class="fas fa-bars"></i>
  </button>

  <!-- Collapsible content -->
  <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarNav">
    <ul class="navbar-nav ms-auto mb-2 mb-lg-0">
      <li class="nav-item">
        <a class="nav-link active" aria-current="page" href="#">Home</a>
      </li>
      <li class="nav-item">
        <a class="nav-link" href="#">Training</a>
      </li>
      <li class="nav-item">
        <a class="nav-link" href="#">Safety</a>
      </li>
      <li class="nav-item">
        <a class="nav-link" href="#">Contact</a>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </div>
  <!-- Collapsible content -->
</div>

Has anyone run into this issue? Do I need to initialize JavaScript manually, or should it work out of the box?

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

You are using the current syntax with legacy versions. Initiation with data attributes was introduced in v7. You need to reference this version of the documentation:
