MegaMenu JS issue - All menu links triggering first <li> item only

I found code for a navigation menu on codepen which I would like to use found here
https://codepen.io/Jamwal/pen/OxgymX
(I have to post code to publish the codepen link, so this is the JS for the navigation. Please visit link to see full code)
$(document).ready(function(){
/*mega menu*/
$('#mega-menu-fresher li').on('hover', function(){
if ($(this).siblings().children().hasClass('active-mega-menu')) {
$(this).siblings().children().removeClass('active-mega-menu');
}
$(this).children().addClass('active-mega-menu');
});
$('#mega-menu-fresher').on('mouseleave', function(){
$('#mega-menu-fresher li').children().removeClass('active-mega-menu');
$('#mega-menu-fresher li:first-child').children().addClass('active-mega-menu');
});
$('.navigation-bar ul.menu-list li#mega-menu-parent').on('hover',function(){
$('#mega-menu-fresher').toggle();
});
$('#mega-menu-fresher ul li.vegies').on('mouseenter', function(){
$(this).children('a.active-mega-menu').css('color','#fff');
});
$('#mega-menu-fresher ul li.vegies').on('mouseleave', function(){
$(this).children('a.active-mega-menu').css('color','#000');
});
});
I am only interested in using the dropdown content setup under the "Home" section, but I want to add more menu items with unique content, but following the same format. For example - Home, Page1, Page2, Page3 and have each one with it's own set of sections and links following the same format.
On my end, I have created multiple menu items and unique content similar to what is in "Home". But, when I hover over any of the other navigation items (Page1, Page2, Page3), they all trigger the first "Home" menu dropdown.
How do I trigger the dropdown for Page 1 when I hover over Page 1 menu item, Page2 when hovering over Page2, etc.. Currently all trigger Home. I am not very fluent with JS, and I can't seem to figure it out. If you can help me solve this it would be very very helpful!
Please let me know if you need any more clarification.

You must use $ to enter the function
$(document).ready(function($){
// code here
}

JQuery click() does not load page properly if page has not been loaded via navbar first

I am working with this Template from templatemo.
I wanted to include some references to other parts of the website in the body text (e.g. Please "contact me" for further information). If you click "contact me" the page should navigate to "Contact" in the same manner as if the user clicked on the navigation bar to navigate to the page (with the same animation).
In order to so, i added the following code to trigger a click event:
<p class="tm-text">Contact me via the <a id="myLink" href="javascript:loadPage(5);">contact form</a></p>
And the function to trigger the click:
function loadPage(pageNo) {
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.nav-item').get(pageNo).click();});
}
So this code is working, if I click on the reference the page changes as if I clicked the navigation bar. BUT:
If I reload the page and click on the reference, the page navigates to the contact page, which then however is not diplayed properly (the contact form and the google maps view are missing).
If I reload the page, first open the contact page via the menu, then switch to the page with the reference and click on it, the contact page is loaded properly.
This behaviour is also shown if I reference another page (e.g. the Gallery). The gallery elements are displayed (the page is not completely empty), but the spacing between the elements is not correct.
It seems like every page has to be loaded at least once via the navigation bar. If this has happened, all pages are displayed properly when opened via a reference in the text.
Thanks for your support.

Your template use Hero slider + some customs JavaScript functions to move between "pages", so you need to use the same functions to get the same behaviour.
Doing that will work:
<p class="tm-text">Contact me via the <a id="myLink" href="javascript:goToPage('Contact');">contact form</a></p>
You need to add this JS function:
function goToPage(page_name) {
// Retrieve the <a> tag with the page_name
// page_name is the string of the page in the navbar
page_link_a = $('.navbar-nav .nav-link').filter(function(index) { return $(this).text() === page_name; });
page_link_li = page_link_a.parent();
// Trigger js code from hero slider
page_link_li.click();
// Trigger js code from templatemo
page_link_a.click();
}
The function goToPage() take one parameter, the string name of the section so if you have a section named My Gallery you need to put that, not my-gallery nor an index.

Can't get Simplemodal to display link content in modal window

I can't seem to get the modal window to show any content from another link. I'm quite sure I've used the correct classes to link them together. This is the basic js given from http://www.ericmmartin.com/projects/simplemodal_v101/.
jQuery(function ($) {
// Load dialog on page load
//$('#basic-modal-content').modal();
// Load dialog on click
$(' .basic').click(function (e) {
$('#basic-modal-content').modal();
return false;
});});
I've put the basic class onto
<li><a href="about me/about me.html" class='basic'>about me</a></li>
and in the external html link (about me) I put a div id of
<div id="basic-modal-content">

I've included my code in this zip (http://www.4shared.com/zip/LGOb7yugba/Darrien_Website_V2.html)
Any help would be much appreciated! :)

You have the following problem:
User click on your link
Click event is fired
Javascript look after some element with ID equals to basic-modal-content
There is no element with this ID
The browser load the about page
What you have to do:
User click on a link (with href='#')
Click event is fired
Use JQuery .load() function to load the html content of about page into a specific div
Call modal with id equals to basic-modal-content
Javascript will look after basic-modal-content and find it

addClass in JQuery

I am pretty new in JQuery and I have a question about addClass(). I spent some time to try to get this working, but seems like I did something wrong. I created a top menu with HTML and bootstrap. I assume visitors will land on my index.php first, so I created the class="active" for my index.php. Then if they click on any other link on the top menu (ex. About Us), then the class="active" will add to the and remove the class="active" from the "li" tab for index.php.
Below is my HTML code:
<div class="nav-collapse collapse">
<ul class="nav pull-right">
<li id="home" class="active"> Home</li>
<li id="about"> About Us</li>
<li id="browse"> Browse</li>
<li id="contact"> Contact</li>
</ul>
</div>
And below is the JQuery code that I use and try to get this done.
$(function (){
var sidebar = $('.nav');
sidebar.delegate("li", "click", function(){
if($(this).hasClass('active')){
//If click on the tab that is currently active, it will do nothing.
}else{
sidebar.find('.active').addClass('inactive');
sidebar.find('.active').removeClass('active');
$(this).removeClass('inactive');
$(this).addClass('active');
}
});
});
I tested it out on my local server. I could see the tab in my top menu turned to grey after I clicked it, but it didn't stay. So I am sure I did something wrong, but not sure where. I am really new in JQuery, so I hope I can learn from you guys. thank you!

When the link is clicked on, it takes the browser to a whole new page which starts a whole new javascript environment and nothing you've done to the current page carries over to the newly loaded page.
Thus the active class may be changed on the current page, but then a whole new page loads which inherits nothing from the first page (e.g. it's starts over from scratch). Your code from the first page is no longer in play once the new page is loaded.
You need to either just code the active class into each separate page (since each page knows what page it is) or have one common set of JS that sets the active class when the page loads based on the URL so it is intialized properly when the page loads.
Also, you probably don't need an inactive class. The default CSS state can represent the inactive look and the active class can apply a CSS override to show the active state.

This is not working, because when someone clicks on another link, they are redirected to a different page. However, your header doesn't really know which link was clicked on nor which page it is on. You need to let your header know which page you are. Does this make sense?

The other answers are correct, when you click on the tag you are opening a new page and therefore losing your javascript environment.
If you want to have a single page app, you can use preventDefault to stop the browser from following the link.
sidebar.delegate("li", "click", function(e){
e.preventDefault();
if($(this).hasClass('active')){
//If click on the tab that is currently active, it will do nothing.
}else{
sidebar.find('.active').addClass('inactive');
sidebar.find('.active').removeClass('active');
$(this).removeClass('inactive');
$(this).addClass('active');
}
});

JQuery Tabs and Hyperlinking (help me fix my code, please)

I am using multiple pages that each have jQuery tabs. Lets say I have Page1.html with #tab1 and #tab2 and Page2.html with #tab3 and #tab4. My code has issues with:
1) Within the tab content, Page1.html#tab2 has a hyperlink to Page1.html#tab1. The link does not work - the page just stays on #tab1 when clicking the link. However, a hyperlink in the menu container on Page1 to #tab1 does work. Both hyperlinks use the same a href="#tab1" but for whatever reason, only the link outside of the Page1.html#tab2 content works when linking to Page1.html#tab1. The hyperlinks in the menu container always work.
2) If I send someone a hyperlink to www.Page1.html#tab2, the page URL shows as www.Page1.html with tab 1 showing, meaning I cannot link directly to a tab. However, the menu on the website does correctly link to tabs. If I click the menu link for Page2.html#tab3 while browsing Page1.html, the tab will correctly load and the URL shows Page2.html#tab3 and will remain that way even if I click #tab4 on the page. The URL ONLY changes when clicking menu hyperlinks to different pages, i.e. Page1.html#tab1 to Page2.html#tab3. Clicking Page2.html#tab3 while on Page2.html#tab4, the tab content will correctly change to #tab3 but the URL will remain as Page2.html#tab4.
What I Want:
A) To be able to send someone a link directly to a tab. Sending someone a link to www.Page1.html#tab2 will always load as the URL www.Page1.html with the first tab displaying. However, the menu hyperlinks on the page do work.
B) To be able to link between tabs on the same page if the link is within the tab content. For example, a link in the content of Page1.html#tab1 should be able to link to Page1.html#tab2. Right now, it only works if the link in the content of Page1.html#tab1 is linking to a tab on a separate page like Page2.html#tab3.
C) **EXTRA CREDIT**: When I click directly on a tab, the tab image "pops" out and the previously selected tab "unpops". When I click a menu hyperlink to a tab, the previous tab remains popped out even with the correct content for the newly selected tab showing. Or, if using a menu link to travel to a tab on a new page, no tabs "pop" out but the correct tab content shows. I think fixing the above problems will solve this problem, too.
Here is my code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var tabId = location.hash;
if(tabId) {
$(tabId).show();
}
$(function () {
$('a[href^="#"]').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$('html,body').scrollTop($(this.hash).offset().top - 50);
});
});
});
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var tabContents = $(".tab_content").hide(),
tabs = $("ul.tabs li, .rgtPanelBox ul li"); // Second selector to match left hand sidebar
var tabId = location.hash;
if(tabId) {
$(tabId).show();
}
else {
tabs.first().addClass("active").show();
tabContents.first().show();
}
tabs.click(function() {
var $this = $(this),
activeTab = $this.find('a').attr('href');
if(!$this.hasClass('active') && activeTab.length > 1 && activeTab.indexOf('#') === 0){
$this.addClass('active').siblings().removeClass('active');
tabContents.hide().filter(activeTab).fadeIn();
}
return;
});
});
</script>
Anyways, I'm a huge noob so the better the code you provide, the easier I can approve your answer as being correct. :)
Thanks!

You need to make your anchor tags hashable, that is, make them 'bookmarkable' for the front-end user. You seem to be on the way to creating your own tab plugin, but jQuery UI will do the hashing part for you. Here is a demonstration setting tabs up as you have mentioned:
http://muledesign.com/2009/05/bookmarkable-tabs-with-jquery-ui/
DEMO:
Here's the demo page -> http://muledesign.com/demo/tabs/default-tabs.html
Demo page with hashable link to tab -> http://muledesign.com/demo/tabs/default-tabs.html#movie
Re: point C) - Try using a lightbox plugin and attaching the lightbox plugins open/init function to the activate event on UI tabs -> http://api.jqueryui.com/tabs/#event-activate
I appreciate you may not want to use plugins, but you're already using jquery so meh.
