I’m trying to make it so when people select the button on top of the page one of the three links, which are ids inside the page, will be selected (they look like tabs with the jquery ui attachment but I couldn’t get it on the pen), but despite my attemps I can’t make it work by using a function and if staments, any advice on what I’m doing wrong? I never made something more than basic in javascript
Full code here, since due to character limit i can’t put the full HTML and CSS on the post
