Topic: Issues with the SideNav not working/showing up when clicking the button

brandon cox priority asked 3 years ago

Expected behavior Navigation as seen here: https://mdbootstrap.com/previews/mdb-ui-kit/sidenav/4.html I tried copy/pasting the code, changing the pointers for the documents including using the example ones, or ones that I downloaded locally. I tried the JS at the top, and of course, as it should be at the bottom since code is read top to bottom but the nav bar doesn't show up.

Actual behavior The navbar doesn't show up in either large screen or small screen modes, clicking the button to toggle does nothing, when the page loads I get the following error: Console error And the page looks like this: Page

Clicking the 3 bars menu does a little animation once then gets stuck. I have the pro/advanced base package installed.

I removed code that isn't needed to shorten it, such as menu items. I've used other components in other websites i've made but this is the most i've ever had issues. It is usually copy and paste and it's good to go.

Hello, your attribute names are not following the mdb pattern. change data-attr to data-mdb-attr, for example data-mdb-accordion

https://mdbootstrap.com/snippets/standard/m-duszak/3316436#html-tab-view

<div
        id="sidenav-1"
        class="sidenav"
