Answer 1

one of your selectors is malformed, by looking at your html it looks like on the third line of the script that selector isn't doing what I think you want it to.

$("#homeL, #workL").click(function(){

  //$(".nav navbar-nav li") <-this is looking for a 
 inside a   
  // tag inside a tag with the class "nav"

  $(".nav.navbar-nav li").removeClass("active");
  $(this).addClass("active");
});
