Menu not staying down when click.

Hello fellow students. I have a little bit of problem with my responsive menu. When the menu is at 480px and clicked, it does not stay down. It fades out fast. Also, when my nav is floated right, the menu reverses to Contact,About,Portfolio,and Home. Thanks. Here is the codepen http://codepen.io/Layee/pen/MweYjY

$(document).ready(function() {

  $('.menu-trigger').click(function() {
    //show menu and on large screen
    $('.nav-menu').slideToggle(1000, function() {
      $(this).toggleClass('nav-expanded').css('display', ' '); //the menu doesn't  stay down after you clicked on it.

    });
  });
});

I think the issue is in your CSS not the javascript.

I have updated the Codepen http://codepen.io/anon/pen/VLjLrO

The css for displaying the expanded nav should be as follows. This sets a more specific class for displaying block.

/now show the menu again for larger devices/ div.nav-menu.nav-expanded { display: block; }

Hope this helps
