Why will this work in codepen but not my editor [Atom.io]?

This has been troubling me for a few days now. This is my codepen: http://codepen.io/xGabey/pen/WorXMN And as you can see, the collapsible nav works great. But then I put each code file (html, css, and js), in their proper files in my editor, I load jquery minified before my js file at the head in my html, and I remember to link each external file. Everything shows up, but the hide-on-scroll mechanic doesn't work. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks,

~ Gabriel

You say, "I load jquery minified before my js file at the head in my html", but I see you're selecting DOM elements that come after the script without waiting for them to load first. You should use the standard practices of wrapping your code in $(document).ready() or placing your script at the bottom of the body
