How to change the colour of hamburger menu when clicked?

I am trying to change the colour of the hamburger menu when it's clicked.
The colour of the hamburger menu is the same colour as the background of the menu when opened.
I want to change the colour of the hamburger menu to white when the menu appears. And return to blue when it's clicked and the menu disappears.

The hamburger menu only shows when the page is 600px or less in width.
var(--clr-primary) is blue.
var(--clr-secondary) is white.

JS
const toggleButton = document.getElementsByClassName("toggle-button")[0]
const navbarLinks = document.getElementsByClassName("navbar-links")[0]
toggleButton.addEventListener("click", () => {
navbarLinks.classList.toggle("active")
} )

You could try toggling a class on the toggle button with js, and adding some css to change color:
toggleButton.addEventListener("click", () => {
navbarLinks.classList.toggle("active");
toggleButton.classList.toggle("active");
});
.toggle-button {
transition: background-color 0.5s;
}
.toggle-button.active {
background-color: red;

NavBar Auto Toggling On

I am using the onclick method for turning my navbar on/off the problem that I'm having is when I adjust my screen size to mobile view my nav auto turns on.
I'm not very good at JavaScript. I have just started learning it so just fiddled around and absolutely nothing worked for me. Someone told me to put aria-expanded on my HTML so also tried that:
function closeNav() {
document.getElementById("nav_bar").style.height = "0%";
document.getElementById("open-btn").style.display = "inline-block";
document.getElementById("close-btn").style.display = "none";
}
function openNav() {
document.getElementById("nav_bar").style.height = "100%";
document.getElementById("open-btn").style.display = "none";
document.getElementById("close-btn").style.display = "inline-block";
}

Make use of the classList.toggle function that adds/remove a class from the Navbar. In this example, I add or remove the class d-none that has the property: display: none in CSS. With that you can hide or show the navbar by pressing the same button with a single line of code:
const BUTTON = document.querySelector('#toggle_navBar');
const NAV = document.querySelector('nav');
BUTTON.addEventListener('click', function() {
NAV.classList.toggle('d-none');
});

<button id="toggle_navBar">Toggle NavBar</button>
A few changes I made were for semantic reasons. You should use semantic tags if possible and have accessibility in mind. Accessibility is also part of SEO-ratings!

I think the basic idea would be to have a button toggle some variable and then update the UI according to the value of that variable.
You can do this in several ways, but here is an example of a simple way to do it:
// Get your toggle button element
const toggle = document.querySelector(".nav-toggle");
// Get your nav element
const nav = document.querySelector(".nav");
// Create a variable to hold the state of your nav
let navIsOpen = false;
// Listen for clicks on your nav toggle button
toggle.addEventListener('click', () => {
// Update the nav state variable
navIsOpen = !navIsOpen;
// run a function that will update the nav "styles"
updateNav();
})
// This function will update the UI state according to the value of the navIsOpen variable. Here you can update all things you need, like your navbar, your toggle button, ...
function updateNav() {
navIsOpen
?
nav.classList.add('nav--is-open') :
nav.classList.remove('nav--is-open');
}
.nav {
margin-top: 1rem;
padding: 1rem;
background-color: lightgrey;
}
.nav--is-open {
background-color: purple;
color: white;
}
<button class="nav-toggle">Toggle nav</button>
<nav class="nav">
Your nav here
</nav>

Navbar scroll effect not working when having background color

I have a navbar having a gradient type background(slightly black, to transparent).
I wanted the navbar to turn completely black when scrolling, and I wrote the necessary JavaScript code, but the color changes only when I remove that background color gradient from the CSS, otherwise, it doesn't work. Is there a solution for this?
HTML Code:
<section id="header" class="headerr">
<img src="images/logo.png" class="logo">
<div>
<ul id="navbar">
<li><a class="active" href="why.html">Why Snap Smile</a></li>
<li>Solutions</li>
<li>Pricing</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Gallery</li>
<li><i class="fa-solid fa-headset fa-2x"></i></li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS code:
body {
font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif;
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
background-color: #121212;
}
/* Header Section */
#header {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: space-between;
padding: 10px 80px;
background: rgb(0,0,0);
background: linear-gradient(180deg, rgba(0,0,0,0.6629026610644257) 0%, rgba(9,9,121,0) 57%);
z-index: 999;
position: sticky;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
.headerr__black{
background-color: #121212;
}
#navbar {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: space-between;
}
#navbar li {
list-style: none;
padding: 0 20px;
position: relative;
}
#navbar li a {
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 1rem;
font-weight: 600;
color: #ffffff;
transition: 200ms ease-in-out;
}
#navbar li a:hover,
#navbar li a.active {
color: #e50914;
}
#navbar li a.active::after,
#navbar li a:hover::after {
content: "";
width: 30%;
height: 3px;
background: #e50914;
position: absolute;
bottom: -6px;
left: 20px;
}
.logo {
width: 10rem;
}
JavaScript Code:
const nav=document.getElementById('header');
window.addEventListener('scroll',function(){
if(window.scrollY >= 100){
nav.classList.add('headerr__black');
}
else{
nav.classList.remove('headerr__black');
}
});

I think this may happen because #header selector (id selector) has a higher priority than .header__black (class selector).
Can you try to update your style, so the .headerr__black styles have higher priority ? For example:
/*
* Now the selector specificity is {id} + {class},
* Which is higher than just {id} for #header
*/
#header.headerr__black {
background-color: #121212;
}

Hamburger menu not working when i try to open it

im working on a website for school.
The problem is: My hamburger menu is not opening (btw it only shows up on small screens).
Does anyone know why?
Im using HTML5 (CSS3&Javascript)
Thank you in advance.
HTML code (for the menu)

}
.toggle .line2{

}
JS code
const navSlide = () => {
const burger = document.querySelector('.burger');
const nav = document.querySelector('.nav-links');
const navLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.nav-links li')
burger.addEventListener('click', () => {
nav.classList.toggle('nav-active');
burger.classList.toggle('toggle');
});
}
navSlide();

Steps to debug:
Have you linked you JavaScript file?
< script src="yourFileName.js"></ script>
Have you made sure all appropriate areas in JS have a closing (;)? It seems like you had one missing here.
const navLinks = document.querySelectorAll('.nav-links li');
Have you linked to your css?
< link rel="stylesheet" href="#yourFileName.css">
These may be the issues you are facing if you have functionality in your provided link.
Also spaces were added in front of link, script and script closing to have them viewable you can backspace in your editor.

My hamburguer menu disappears when clicking on it's items

Recently I uploaded my website online on Github and it came out with some display problems.
I have an Hamburguer menu icon (.toggle - in my code) for widths less than 1210px. When I click in the icon it works fine, displaying the submenu with the items, but when I click in the home button the main page loses the menu icon. I don´t know why.
I've tested it previously before it became public, and it was working fine.
The same thing happens when I click on the a-tower or muda items and then backwards to home, again the icon disappears.
I have already tried to research about that error in specific but didn´t find one particularly similar.

Note: when I resize my browser in my desktop, when it gets smaller, between 870px and 560px the menu burguer stays on the right, and disappears during these dimensions periods.

I have checked your site, it's not a jquery issue. The hamburger icons disappear because of the logo property "flex".
Replace this CSS on your stylesheet, I will fix your issue.
.logo {
display: flex;
flex: 1;
}
when your hamburger menu appears, it's got CSS display: block property so it failed to counter the display: flex.
Let me know Please.

A couple things are going on here. First, some of the links are redirecting you to a new page, without the header code. Second, you have your first click event set up to respond to .toggle and .item. .item refers to your menu items, so you want to remove that target.
$(document).ready(() => {
$('.toggle').on('click', function() {
$('.toggle').toggleClass('active');
$('#menu-two').toggleClass('visible')
})
$('.active').on('click', function() {
$('.toggle').fadeToggle()
})
$('ul#menu-two > li > a').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
});
});
