Menu
I am using a simple bootstrap top fixed navigation bar and I would like to change the color of the active page... however I think something is missing in my code
<div class="navbar">
<div class="navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="container" style="width: auto;">
<div class="nav-collapse" id="nav-collapse">
<ul class="nav" id="nav">
<li class="active"><a href="#skdill" >skisll</a></li>
<li class="active"><a href="#skill">skill</a></li>
<li class="active"><a href="#research">research</a></li>
<li class="active"><a href="#">Link</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
and the CSS is
.navbar {
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
}
.navbar .nav {
float: none;
}
.navbar .nav>li {
width: 25%;
}
.content {
padding-top: 80px;
}
#nav-collapse li a:hover {
color: blue;
}
#nav-collapse a:hover {
background-color: gray;
}
#nav-collapse li.active {
color:green;
background-color: yellow;
}
#nav-collapse li.active a {
color: red;
}
... I would like for example the text (of the active navigation item) to be red and the background color to be gray (whatever)... do you have an idea?
Many thanks!

If you want to keep the state of the active item then you need to include the navbar layout in every html file. For example if you click on Research then in the research.html your navbar must be
<div class="navbar">
<div class="navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="container" style="width: auto;">
<div class="nav-collapse" id="nav-collapse">
<ul class="nav" id="nav">
<li ><a href="#skdill" >skisll</a></li>
<li ><a href="#skill">skill</a></li>
<li class="active"><a href="#research">research</a></li>
<li ><a href="#">Link</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
And so on for all your links.
EDIT You can use JavaScript and do the trick:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="js/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<link href="css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen">
<link href="css/bootstrap-responsive.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
</style>
</head>
<script>
$(function() {
$('#nav li a').click(function() {
$('#nav li').removeClass();
$($(this).attr('href')).addClass('active');
});
});
</script>
<body>
<div class="navbar">
<div class="navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="container" style="width: auto;">
<div class="nav-collapse" id="nav-collapse">
<ul class="nav" id="nav">
<li id="home"><a href="#home">Home</a></li>
<li id="skill"><a href="#skill">Skill</a></li>
<li id="research"><a href="#research">Research</a></li>
<li id="link"><a href="#link">Link</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
