Can't get NAV links to work, html code is correct

I'm building off a single page template. I decided to add a second page that mirrors the main page. I had to change the navbar link code to point to the main pages various sections (IE: instead of just #about, I made it index.html#about). These links are not working though. If I use "inspect" in Chrome and ctrl+click on the link in the code, it will work, so I'm thinking something in CSS is stopping this section from actually clicking the link.
The page with issues is www.homexphoto.ca/pricing.html

Am I missing something simple here? The template Im using also has Javascript which Im trying not to touch as Im not there yet in skill. I'm hoping that isnt blocking this somehow.
Cheers
EDIT - if I right click the sidebar nav links and 'open in a new tab' they work! But the single click seems disabled?

When I right-click and choose "open link in new window", it works as expected, the new page opens, so the links are correct.
I would suspect that there is some javascript that contains "preventDefault()" for the links in order to perform a scrolling animation or something similar.
In fact, this seems to be a template for a one-pager - the links do work (using animated scrolling) on the index.html page...
So, have a look at the JS files and search for "preventDefault"...
Addition after comments: This piece of code has helped me to solve a similar problem a while ago:
jQuery(function ($) {
$(document).ready(function() {
if(window.location.hash) {
var hash = window.location.hash;
$( 'a[href=' + hash + ']' ).click();
}
});
});

How to fix the a href tag clickable?

I have an html css code for notification dropdown box the issues is i can't able to click the tag and same time i tried with javaScript also not working i can't understand this issues please advice me how to make a clickable tag..

I attached my CSS and HTML code and i tried it's working but URL is opening in another tab. i need open the url in same tab please tell me the solution how to fix this.

In your code dropdown isn't ever made visible.
I think, you on click of "Notifications" you have to toggle(hide/show) dropdown by toggling(adding and removing) "active" class on Notifications tag.
Once your dropdown becomes visible. clicks should work as you desire.
Sample working code:
Notifications
<script>
function toggleDropdownVisibility(event) {
var notificationBell = event.target;
if (notificationBell.classList.contains('active')) {
notificationBell.classList.remove('active');
} else {
notificationBell.classList.add('active');
}
}
</script>
In addition to that please remove onclick="window.location.href('view-post.php')" as window.location.href is not a function instead it a property to which a url can be assigned. like window.location.href='view-post.php' . But you can completely remove this onclick as its not needed.

Your code looks fine here , except that I don't understand why you have opacity:0 and visibility:hidden on the .dropdown css class. These are making your control not accessible.
But once I remove these 2 properties in css worked for me (on last version of Chrome)
My advice:
For tags you can use this :
https://bootstrap-tagsinput.github.io/bootstrap-tagsinput/examples/. No need too much custom JS.

I have the solution for this, i tried that and it's working.
<div class="toparea-right">
<ul class="setting-area">
<li>
<i class="far fa-newspaper"></i>
<span class="notifi-count" id="displayNotiCount">00</span>
Notifications
<div class="dropdowns" id="MmailNoti">
<ul class="drops-menu">
<li>
<a href="view-post.php" onclick="window.location.href('view-post.php')" title="">
<div class="mesg-meta-notification">
<h6>Bruce Wayne</h6>
<span>is commented in your post!</span>
<i>0 min ago</i>
</div>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<script>
// When the user clicks on div, open the popup
function myFunction() {
var popup = document.getElementById("MmailNoti");
popup.classList.toggle("show");
}
</script>

Waypoints not working properly with my sidenav

I'm attempting to make a side nav on my site which adds the "active" class to it's four buttons but I cannot seem to make it work properly.
I've successfully added waypoints to the code but they always seem to be a little off and it takes a bit of extra scrolling from the user to activate the waypoint. I've also tried to follow the {offset} rules in the documentation but to no veil. They either stop working properly from last to first or they stop doing so from first to last.
In order to make the sidenav work, I've split the page in columns, as shown in the CSS below. Feel free to provide insight on the code, as this is a learning exercise and I KNOW my code is pretty dirty at the moment (particularly Javascript)
The side nav:
<div class="sidebar verticalized" id="sidebar-verticalized">
<ul id="sidenav" class="side nav-fixed hide-on-med-and-down">
<li class="side-link">
<a class="side-link-first link1" onclick="clickOne()" href="#">01</a>
</li>
<li class="side-link">
02
</li>
<li class="side-link">
03
</li>
<li class="side-link">
04
</li>
</ul>
</div>
The CSS:
html {
overflow: scroll;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
::-webkit-scrollbar {
width: 0px; /* remove scrollbar space */
background: transparent; /* optional: just make scrollbar invisible */
}
.page{
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: 300px auto;
}
.sidebar{
position:fixed;
width:300px;
}
.main{
grid-column-start:2;
}
.verticalized {
margin: 0px;
padding:0px;
float: left;
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%) translateX(-50%);
left:9%;
}
my mess of JS (each section is declared below):
var $section1 = $('.header');
var $section2 = $('.portfolio');
var $section3 = $('.what-we-do');
var $section4 = $('.contact');
var $link1 = $('.link1');
var $link2 = $('.link2');
var $link3 = $('.link3');
var $link4 = $('.link4');
$section1.waypoint(function (){
$link1.addClass('active');
$link2.removeClass('active');
$link3.removeClass('active');
$link4.removeClass('active');
});
$section2.waypoint(function(){
$link1.removeClass('active');
$link2.addClass('active');
$link3.removeClass('active');
$link4.removeClass('active');
});
$section3.waypoint(function(){
$link1.removeClass('active');
$link2.removeClass('active');
$link3.addClass('active');
$link4.removeClass('active');
});
$section4.waypoint(function(){
$link1.removeClass('active');
$link2.removeClass('active');
$link3.removeClass('active');
$link4.addClass('active');
});
What I've tried so far:
Offset: bottom-in-view (sections are sometimes too large and therefore the old active element remains)
Offset: +/- x% (This fixes the issue from one end but not the other one: I could be going from 1 to 4 on links and it works, but 4 to 1 is broken and vice versa)
Any and all advice/tips are welcome. I'm trying to imitate the bootstrap navbar behaviour with active items for each section.

Second dropdown button in navigation bar showing the same content as the previous button?

My first dropdown button "Content" works correctly but when I click on the second dropdown button "Dropdown", the contents from the first dropdown button show up instead???
I have no idea why it is doing this??? Maybe I am overlooking a small detail, but I can't seem to find where I am going wrong with this.
/* When the user clicks on the button,
toggle between hiding and showing the dropdown content */
function myFunction() {
document.getElementById("myDropdown").classList.toggle("show");
}
// Close the dropdown if the user clicks outside of it
window.onclick = function(e) {
if (!e.target.matches('.dropbtn')) {
var myDropdown = document.getElementById("myDropdown");
if (myDropdown.classList.contains('show')) {
myDropdown.classList.remove('show');
}

Ummm.... because you call the same function from both buttons.
Essentially, you run the same piece of code, myFunction, despite which navigation item is clicked. Therefore, of course both items will always do the same thing.
Give each menu a different ID (remember that IDs need to be unique - i.e. you can't have two items with the same ID), and make myFunction take the ID of the element to show / hide, as shown below.
This means that there is a way for the function to determine which menu open, and thus it will open the correct one.
/* When the user clicks on the button,
toggle between hiding and showing the dropdown content */
function myFunction(id) {
document.getElementById(id).classList.toggle("show");
}
// Close the dropdown if the user clicks outside of it
window.onmouseup = function(e) {
var dropdown = document.querySelector(".dropdown-content.show"); //Get any shown dropdown element (i.e. any element on the page with both the dropdown-content class and the show class
if (dropdown) { //If such an element exists, a dropdown needs to be closed
dropdown.classList.remove("show"); //So remove the show class
}
}

How does this work?
myFunction('dropdownOne') means that the id variable in myFunction is given the value dropdownOne - therefore when we call document.getElementById(id) it will interpret as document.getElementById('dropdownOne') instead, and hence the first dropdown is targeted.
Likewise, if we call myFunction('dropdownTwo'), then it will interpret as document.getElementById('dropdownTwo'), and thus target the second dropdown.
Therefore, you can add as many menu items like this as you want, assuming each has a unique identifier, and myFunction is given the unique ID each time.

What is a clean way to toggle a slide in menu?

Okay so I am working on my new personal website and I have came to making the off canvas menu toggable. How cna I do so?
So far I have:
var mainNav = document.getElementById('menu');
var navToggle = document.getElementById('menu-toggle');
mainNav.classList.add('collapsed');
function mainNavToggle() {
mainNav.classList.toggle('collapsed');
}
navToggle.addEventListener('click', mainNavToggle);
.collapsed {
margin-left: -330px;
}
.navigation {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 300px;
height: 100%;
color: #212121;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
transition: all ease-in-out 200ms;
box-shadow: 3px 0px 30px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
}
.navigation ul {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
padding: 90px 0 0 30px;
}
.navigation li {
margin-bottom: 30px;
}
.navigation a {
display: inline-block;
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: 500;
}
.navigation i {
vertical-align: top;
margin-right: 10px;
}
.navigation .double-line {
display: inline-block;
line-height: 1.45;
}
.navigation .double-line span {
display: block;
font-size: 12px;
opacity: 0.3;
}
.clicked span {
background-color: #000;
}
.menu-toggle {
background-color: transparent;
border: 0px;
outline: 0px;
cursor: pointer;
position: relative;
z-index: 10;
}
.menu-toggle span {
display: block;
width: 18px;
height: 2px;
margin: 4px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
<button class="menu-toggle" id="menu-toggle">
<span></span>
<span></span>
<span></span>
</button>
<nav class="navigation" role="navigation" id="menu">
<ul>
/* Menu contents */
</ul>
</nav>
But with this code when the page loads you can see the menu being swept to the left, I dont want this.
How can I make my toggle button change colour when the menu is open?

Adding the class collapsed to the nav and removing the initial toggle solves your blinking issue! And toggling an active class on the toggle gets you a grey toggle when the $menu is open! The transition CSS property is optional to make the bg transition from transparent to grey look smooth.
Fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/mbs1kymv/1/
JS:
var $menu = document.getElementById('menu');
var $toggle = document.getElementById('menu-toggle');
$toggle.addEventListener('click', function()
{
$menu.classList.toggle('collapsed');
$toggle.classList.toggle('active');
});
HTML:
<nav class="navigation collapsed" role="navigation" id="menu"> ... </nav>
CSS:
.menu-toggle {
transition: background-color 0.25s;
}
.menu-toggle.active {
background-color: #CCC;
}
