sidenav-link something sets last item to active

Topic: sidenav-link something sets last item to active

losdude free asked 2 years ago

Expected behavior

No menu item should show active if I haven't specified the active class on it (sidenav-link class item)

Actual behavior

The last item in the

list of sidenav-item ('s) gets selected as active every time, no matter what. Even if I specify another

to be active, it switches to the last one.

Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.) You can see this happen here: https://mdbootstrap.com/snippets/standard/mdbootstrap/2515385?view=side Notice the last item (bottom left, when the menu is showing) is always selected (SALES menu item).

The case is that <code>href</code> attr is empty. Try to change sidenav code for this, or just set each href to <code>href="#"</code>

<ul class="sidenav-menu">
 <li class="sidenav-item">
 <a class="sidenav-link" href="#">
 Webiste traffic</a
 >
 </li>
 <li class="sidenav-item">
 <a class="sidenav-link"
 >Settings</a
 >
 <ul class="sidenav-collapse">
 <li class="sidenav-item">
 <a class="sidenav-link">Profile</a>
 </li>
 <li class="sidenav-item">
 <a class="sidenav-link">Account</a>
 </li>
 </ul>
 </li>
 <li class="sidenav-item">
 <a class="sidenav-link"
 >Password</a
 >
 <ul class="sidenav-collapse">
 <li class="sidenav-item">
 <a class="sidenav-link">Request password</a>
 </li>
 <li class="sidenav-item">
 <a class="sidenav-link">Reset password</a>
 </li>
 </ul>
 </li>

<li class="sidenav-item">
 <a class="sidenav-link" href="#">

 </li>
 <li class="sidenav-item">
