9,938 PointsIdentify the error between my code and teachers code
I cannot seem to identify the error between my code and the previous code. THis is how it looks like for me(1) and this is how it is supposed to look like(2)
This is my code:
<!-- Capture the link in the bar -->
{% capture location %}{{ page.url | split:'/' }}{% endcapture %}
<header class="main-header" role="banner">
<div class="grid">
<div class="grid__col--12">
<a class="site-logo" href="/" title="Webconfs.me – Home">
WebConfs
</a>
<nav class="navbar" role="navigation">
<ul class="nav">
{% for page in site.pages %}
<!-- Assign the variable with title -->
{% assign current = page.title | downcase %}
{% if page.title %}
<li {% if location == current %} class="nav_item--current" {% else %} class="nav__item" {% endif %}>
<a href="{{ page.url | prepend: site.baseurl }}">{{ page.title }}</a>
</li>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
</div>
</header>
This is teacher's code:
<!-- Capture and store a URL -->
{% capture location %}{{ page.url | split:'/' }}{% endcapture %}
<header class="main-header" role="banner">
<div class="grid">
<div class="grid__col--12">
<a class="site-logo" href="/" title="Webconfs.me – Home">
WebConfs
</a>
<nav class="navbar" role="navigation">
<ul class="nav">
{% for page in site.pages %}
<!-- Compare the page title to the URL -->
{% assign current = page.title | downcase %}
{% if page.title %}
<li {% if location == current %} class="nav__item--current" {% else %} class="nav__item" {% endif %}>
<a href="{{ page.url | prepend: site.baseurl }}">{{ page.title }}</a>
</li>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
</div>
</header>

(double underscore used)
EDIT: the underscores are going away when I post... there should be two underscores after nav, your's only has one. EDIT2: fixed
