Making navigation bars with HTML - question - how do the nav bars work?

Question

When we make navigation bars, Home, about, Contact...)
Do we need JavaScript to make the nav bars work?
If the default is Home, wouldn't we need JavaScript for the content to switch to the About page (maybe onclick event)?

Answer 1

No, you can make each text a hyperlink.

Answer 2

No, you do not need JS to make the navbars work. Just create links with the <a href=""> element to target page or part of the page you want.

<li><a href="home">home</a></li>
