There could be several reasons why the navbar on your website hosted on GitHub pages is not working properly. Here are some potential causes and solutions to consider:

Incorrect file paths: Double-check the file paths for your CSS and JavaScript files. GitHub Pages is case-sensitive, so make sure your file names are spelled correctly and match the casing used in your HTML code.
Missing or incorrect dependencies: If you're using external libraries or frameworks for your navbar, make sure you have included all the necessary dependencies. Check that you have properly linked to the CSS and JavaScript files required for the navbar to function correctly.
JavaScript errors: Open the browser console and look for any JavaScript errors that may be causing the navbar to malfunction. Fixing these errors should resolve any issues with the navbar's functionality. Common errors include missing or incorrect variable names, missing function calls, or incorrect event listeners.
Conflicts with other scripts or styles: Check if there are any conflicts between the navbar's scripts or styles and other scripts or styles on your site. Ensure that there are no conflicting class names, IDs, or JavaScript functions. Try temporarily removing other scripts or styles to see if the navbar starts working.
Slow loading or caching issues: If your navbar relies on external resources, such as fonts or icon libraries, check that they are loading correctly. Slow loading or caching issues can lead to the navbar not functioning properly. Clear your browser cache or try accessing your site in an incognito mode to rule out caching issues.
Webflow-specific issues: If you're using the Webflow platform to design and build your site, there could be a specific issue related to Webflow. Check the Webflow community forums or contact Webflow support for assistance with any platform-specific problems.

By troubleshooting these potential causes, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with your navbar on GitHub Pages.
