bootstrap's collapse doesn't work

i have written this code using bootstrap to use the collapse-menu.

<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Up and Running with Bootstrap</title>
<link href="bootstrap/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link href="bootstrap/css/bootstrap-responsive.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<!-- HTML5 shim for IE backwards compatibility -->
    <!--[if lt IE 9]>
      <script src="http://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
    <![endif]-->
</head>

<body>

<nav class="navbar navbar-inverse">
    <div class="navbar-inner">
    <a class="brand" href="#">Roux Academy Conference</a>
    <ul class="nav">
      <li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a> </li>
      <li><a href="#">The Artists</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">The Art</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Schedule</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Venue</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Hotels</a></li>
    </ul>
    </div>
</nav>


    <script type="text/javascript" src="bootstrap/js/jquery-1.9.0.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="bootstrap/js/bootstrap.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

this code has to collapse the list items on resizing the browser window but it doesnt work in any of the browser(FF, Chrome or IE).

thanx in advance.

Solution

  • The right HTML wasn't being used to make the nav bar responsive.

    I used the code from http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/components.html#navs , and made:

    <nav class="navbar navbar-inverse">
<div class="navbar-inner">
  <div class="container">
     <a class="btn btn-navbar" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".nav-collapse">
      <span class="icon-bar"></span>
      <span class="icon-bar"></span>
      <span class="icon-bar"></span>
    </a>

    <a class="brand" href="#">Roux Academy Conference</a>
    <div class="nav-collapse collapse">
      <ul class="nav">
        <li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a> </li>
        <li><a href="#">The Artists</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">The Art</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Schedule</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Venue</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Hotels</a></li>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
</nav>

    This makes the desired behaviour as long as the the necessary JS/CSS is linked.
