//Select the naviagation
var navigation = document.getElementById("navigation");
//Select all listItems from the navigation
var listItems = navigation;
//When a navigation link is pressed
var linkListener = function() {
console.log("Listener is clicked!");
}
var bindEventsToLinks = function(listItem) {
//Select the anchor
var anchor = listItem;
//Bind the linkListener to the anchor element (a)

53,547 Pointshey MUZ140877 Nokuthula Mahlangu , looking at line 5 of the .js file this currently assigns the list items to the navigation. however we don't want the list items to be the navigation itself, we want them to be the children. we can do this by simply adding ".children" to the navigation, like so:
//Select all listItems from the navigation
var listItems = navigation.children;
hope that helps and have a nice day ;)
