I'm trying to build my first website, and I am stuck on this problem. I want to create a responsive Navbar with hamburger menu when I resize a window or when I use the website on a mobile. However, when I click on the hamburger menu, nothing happens, the menus don't show. What can I try next?

scripts.js
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
// Get the hamburger menu element
const hamburgerMenu = document.querySelector('.hamburger-menu');
// Get the mobile menu element
const mobileMenu = document.querySelector('.mobile-menu');
// Toggle the active class on both the hamburger menu and mobile menu
function toggleMenu() {
hamburgerMenu.classList.toggle('active');
mobileMenu.classList.toggle('active');
}
// Add a click event listener to the hamburger menu
hamburgerMenu.addEventListener('click', toggleMenu);
// Add a click event listener to each mobile menu link to close the menu when a link is clicked
mobileMenu.querySelectorAll('a').forEach(function (menuItem) {
menuItem.addEventListener('click', toggleMenu);
});
});
I tried the above code and I was expecting to see a responsive navbar visualizing the menus that I correctly see when I test the website in full screen. However, when I resize the screen, the hamburger icon correctly appears but when I click nothing happens.
