On each page, inlcude the active class for the relative menu item.

As an example, for the HOME page, the link will look like:

Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

i done that but every item is active not just the page i am on

You DONT apply the active class to each link ONLY the link you want active for the specific page which is being visited. This is not a great solution should you wish to move your navigation into an include file at any time down the road. Its more of a starter workflow which may be suitable for you skill level at this particular time. A more robust solution is the one I posted after this post, it looks like you have that working.

If you are refering to your main navigation:

<li class="nav-item "> <a class="nav-link meal" href="../Pages/starters.html">STARTER</a></li>
<li class="nav-item "> <a class="nav-link meal" href="../Pages/mains.html">MAIN</a></li>
<li class="nav-item "> <a class="nav-link meal" href="../Pages/Dessert.html">DESSERT</a></li>
<li class="nav-item "> <a class="nav-link meal" href="../Pages/Events.html">EVENTS</a></li>
</ul>

Then you need to use some javascript to 'mark' the naviagtion link as you go from page to page:

Include the below at the bottom of ALL your pages, just before the closing </body> tag.

You can also do this using css.
