In the context of the HTML pages we've discussed (like `index.html`, `about.html`, `contact.html`, etc.), the JavaScript (`scripts.js`) file typically enhances user interaction and functionality. Here’s a general approach to consider for updating `scripts.js` to improve functionality across your portfolio theme:
### Example JavaScript (scripts.js)
```javascript
// Ensure DOM is fully loaded before executing scripts
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
// Smooth scrolling for anchor links
const scrollLinks = document.querySelectorAll('a[href^="#"]');
scrollLinks.forEach(scrollLink => {
scrollLink.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
const targetId = this.getAttribute('href').substring(1);
const targetElement = document.getElementById(targetId);
if (targetElement) {
targetElement.scrollIntoView({
behavior: 'smooth'
});
}
});
});
// Toggle mobile navigation menu
const navToggle = document.querySelector('.nav-toggle');
const navMenu = document.querySelector('.nav-menu');
if (navToggle && navMenu) {
navToggle.addEventListener('click', function() {
navMenu.classList.toggle('show');
});
}
});
```
### Explanation:
1. **Smooth Scrolling**:
- Enables smooth scrolling for anchor links (`<a href="#section-id">`) within the same page. This provides a better user experience when navigating through sections.
2. **Toggle Mobile Navigation**:
- Implements a toggle functionality for the mobile navigation menu. This is useful for smaller screens where the navigation menu might need to be shown or hidden based on user interaction.
### Integration:
- **Smooth Scrolling**:
- Ensure all anchor links (`<a href="#section-id">`) in your HTML pages are correctly formatted to link to the corresponding sections (`id="section-id"`).
- **Toggle Mobile Navigation**:
- Ensure your navigation bar (`navbar`) in `index.html`, `about.html`, `contact.html`, etc., includes a toggle button (`nav-toggle`) and a menu container (`nav-menu`) where the `show` class can be toggled to display or hide the menu on mobile devices.
### Do You Need to Update This for Any Page?
- **Smooth Scrolling**:
- Implement smooth scrolling where necessary, especially if your pages contain long sections or utilize anchor links for navigation within the same page (`index.html`, `about.html`, etc.).
- **Toggle Mobile Navigation**:
- Update the navigation functionality across all pages if your theme includes a responsive navigation menu that needs to toggle on smaller screens (`index.html`, `about.html`, `contact.html`, etc.).
### Additional Considerations:
- Depending on your specific portfolio theme design and functionality, you may need to include additional JavaScript for features such as image sliders, form validation, modal dialogs, etc.
- Always ensure your JavaScript code is efficient and well-structured to enhance performance and maintainability.
By updating `scripts.js` with the appropriate functionality, you can enhance user experience and ensure consistency across all pages of your portfolio theme. Adjust and expand the JavaScript as needed to meet the specific requirements and interactions of your theme.
