JavaScript.

This code opens a navbar menu. How can I make it so that when I tap the same button it will be close? Please explain to me in a way as if you are explaining it to a beginner. Because I am a beginner 🙂 . If possible, show me a better way of doing this.

the code that azyrum provided shows that he used a class of "open" and when you click the button js toggles the class to the nav element

Should I put .links instead of open?

change the getElementsByClassName to querySelector(".links")

make sure you use querySelectorAll if more than 1 eleemnts have the links class

When I tap the button it should open .links menu and close it for the second time.

you should use links.classList.toggle(".visible") and css .links{ display: block; } .visible{ display: none; }

Where should I put the class .visible?

Here you have a nav wrapping the button and the links div. I store the ".links" div inside a variable. I add an eventlistener to the button, when i click the button it gives the links div a class

on the links variable

@FES001 it might be useful to provide a live example like suggested in #how-to-ask-good-questions, using codepen or jsfiddle like Azyrum is doing, so that everyone has a full view of what your problem is specifically

Ok so first There is no .visible in the css. If the class does not exist, nothing's going to happen
links.classList.toggle(".visible");

// should be

links.classList.toggle("visible");

links.classList.toggle(".visible");

// should be

links.classList.toggle("visible");

When you give a class via javascript, you only give the name of the class without the "."
