3,065 Points'length' does not work when using .children()
I used var listItems = navigation.children(); but when I get the length of listItems, it says 'undefined' is not an object (evaluating 'listItems.length')
//Select the navigation
var navigation = document.getElementById("navigation");
//Select all listItems from the navigation
var listItems = navigation.children();
//When a navigation link is pressed
var linkListener = function() {
console.log("Listener is clicked!");
}
var bindEventsToLinks = function(listItem) {
//Select the anchor
var anchor = listItem;
//Bind the linkListener to the anchor element (a)
anchor.onclick = linkListener;
}
for(var i = 0; i < listItems.length ; i++) {
bindEventsToLinks(listItems[i]);
}

is a jQuery method. You need to just use the children
property.
