My navigation bar disappears and my navigation anchors are on a white background once I do the responsive code.

There is an error in your HTML that may be causing some weird things to happen. Basically, one of your tags isn't properly closed. Try finding and fixing that and see how it works out.

Thanks Eric for taking a look at my html. I checked my tags and found it was the problem with the arrangement or order of my tags. I looked at the code on "how to fix problems with code tutorial" and switched it around.

Thanks
