Reactjs – While I try to Add my About Us page link in NAVBAR and then add that in the app.jsx the home page gets mixed with it and somehow it is a bit messy

When I attempt to add my "About Us" page link to the Navbar and include it in app.jsx, the home page ends up getting mixed up and becomes a bit messy. Specifically, when I don’t add the Navbar links, everything works perfectly fine. However, when I try to include, for example, the "About Us" link within the Home section of the Navbar, I encounter an issue where the styles for the About page overlap with those of the Home page.

NAVBAR Image please Refer this Image for your reference

Home Page Image Look at this Image This is the site which I want when I add the aboutUs page in the navbar

but when I add or route the about us page in the App.jsx my homepage get’s distorted like this

Distorted Home Page Image This is how the iamge looks like When I add the AboutUs in the Route

Here is the code for both

Navbar.jsx

    The answer is quite simple.

    <div className="nav-elem">
          <h4><Link to="/" className={menu === '/' ? 'active' : ''} onClick={() => setMenu('/')}>Home</Link></h4>
          <h5><span><Link to="/about" className={menu === '/about' ? 'active' : ''} onClick={() => setMenu('/about')}>About Us</Link></span></h5>
          <h5><span>How It Works</span></h5>
          <h5><span>Blog</span></h5>
        </div>

    Here, you are going to navigate to /about when clicking the About us but you didn’t add the route to the App.jsx.
    So the App.jsx should be like this.

    import React from 'react';
import Navbar from './components/Navbar/Navbar';
import Home from './pages/Home/Home';
import AboutUs from './pages/AboutUs/AboutUs'; // Import the About Us component
import { Routes, Route } from 'react-router-dom';

function App() {
  return (
    <div className="App">
      <Navbar />
      <Routes>
        <Route path='/' element={<Home />} /> {/* Home page */}
        <Route path='/home' element={<Home />} /> {/* Optional: Duplicate home route */}
        <Route path='/about' element={<AboutUs />} /> {/* About Us page */}
      </Routes>
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

    Issue

    The issue here is "polluted" global CSS styling. When the <Route path='/about' element={<AboutUs />} /> route is added to the routes, the AboutUs component is imported, including its AboutUs.css file which is loaded into the DOM and applied. Many of your various CSS files all define rules targeting the same CSS selectors, so the AboutUs CSS styles are overriding various elements of your nav bar and header, and likely other routed components.

    Compare for example the applied h1 element rules:

    Without the AboutUs route and CSS

    AboutUs and CSS excluded

    With the AboutUs route and CSS included

    AboutUs and CSS included

    Note that AboutUs.css‘s #page1 h1 rule is applied even though the URL path is still "/" and the Home component is rendered.

    AboutUs.css

    #page1 h1 {
  font-size: 300px;
  letter-spacing: -25px;
  font-weight: 100;
  font-family: canopee;
  background-color: #1c1c19;
  color: #c4bcb3;
  line-height: 600px;
  width: 97%;
  margin-left: 0%;
}

    Solution

    CSS is globally applied, so the solution is to limit the scope of your CSS rules via selectors. This is generally achieved by wrapping a specific page or section/area/etc in a class or some unique identifier.

    Example:

    AboutUs.jsx

    Provide an "about-us" CSS classname to one of the component’s root elements that wraps the page component’s content.

    import React, { useEffect } from "react";
import LocomotiveScroll from "locomotive-scroll";
import gsap from "gsap";
import "./AboutUs.css";

const AboutUs = () => {
  ...

  return (
    <div className="about-us" id="main-content"> // <-- "about-us" CSS classname
      ...
    </div>
  );
};

export default AboutUs;

    AboutUs.css

    Here I’m only showing a single rule, i.e. all h1 elements that are descendants of any elements with the "about-us" CSS classname, but this will be done for any CSS rules you want to apply and limit to the About page’s content.

    .about-us h1 {
  font-size: 300px;
  letter-spacing: -25px;
  font-weight: 100;
  font-family: canopee;
  background-color: #1c1c19;
  color: #c4bcb3;
  line-height: 600px;
  width: 97%;
  margin-left: 0%;
}

    You can see here that the AboutUs.css is loaded but the h1 element’s CSS on the home page isn’t polluted by the about page’s CSS.

    non-polluted CSS on home page
