Sticky nav, adding in the ACTIVE effect whilst scrolling

how do i make each <a> know it should be active depending where I've scrolled to on the page? I'm guessing some how a class is meant to be added like class="active". Any advise and help please :)

Not sure if this is what you're asking, but using sticky's className option lets you change the class name of the wrapper element it creates around whatever you call the sticky function on (default is is-sticky). So you could call it like so:

$(".work").sticky(
  {
    topSpacing: 64,
    className: 'active'
  }
);

And the HTML would look like this:

<div id="undefined-sticky-wrapper" class="sticky-wrapper active" style="height: 23px;">
  <h5 class="work" style="width: 1264px; position: fixed; top: 64px;">Want us to work on your project? <a href="mailto:help@teamtreehouse.com">Email us</a></h5>
