I’ve been trying to add a responsive menu ([Responsive Nav](https://github.com/viljamis/responsive-nav.js) ) to my website, but fail to make it work. My browser is notifying of following errors: ``` [Error] Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) https://www.mysite.com/kirby/responsive-nav.js [Error] Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) https://www.mysite.com/kirby/responsive-nav.css ReferenceError: Can't find variable: responsiveNav ``` I have followed the usage instructions presented in the plugin’s GitHub-page and I have tried different ways to place the assets including the one suggested in the Kirby documentation ([https://getkirby.com/docs/developer-guide/plugins/assets](https://getkirby.com/docs/developer-guide/plugins/assets)): ``` /site/plugins/myplugin/assets/css/myplugin.css /site/plugins/myplugin/assets/js/myplugin.js ``` Can anyone point out where the problem could be? Thank you already in advance for any help or advice. ---

Plugin assets is not the right place, it’s only for Kirby plugins, not for Javascript stuff. You should put your files into `assets/js` and then include the link tag for the js and css files between the `` tags in the header snippet. For easier referencing, you can use the[`css()`](https://getkirby.com/docs/cheatsheet/helpers/css) and [`js()`](https://getkirby.com/docs/cheatsheet/helpers/js) helpers. For example, if the file responsive-nav.min.js is located in `/assets/js/responsive-nav/responsive-nav.min.js` ```auto ``` And for the css: ```auto ``` ---

@Svnt: Responsive Nav is some JavaScript, not a Kirby plugin. It does not make sense to put it in the plugins folder at all. ---

Thank you `texnixe`, now it works! Maybe this answer should have been obvious, but for some reason it wasn’t. 😌 Anyway this solved the problem, thanks once again! 😀 👍 ---
