How to set active class to nav menu from bootstrap ?
To set the active class to the navigation menu dynamically by scrolling or clicking on the navigation links, the active class is to be set on each section depending on the position of the webpage. To add methods and variables, JavaScript is used. To perform some action, the functions can be called on some events such as click and scroll.
Example: This example implements the approach mentioned above.
