    // Smooth scroll for anchor links - Removed as there are no anchor links in this single-page layout.
    // document.querySelectorAll('a[href^="#"]').forEach(anchor => {
    //   anchor.addEventListener('click', function (e) {
    //     e.preventDefault();
    //     const target = document.querySelector(this.getAttribute('href'));
    //     if (target) {
    //       target.scrollIntoView({ behavior: 'smooth', block: 'start' });
    //     }
    //   });
    // });

    // Sticky header effect
    window.addEventListener('scroll', () => {
      const header = document.querySelector('header');
      const scrolled = window.scrollY > 50; /* Adjusted scroll threshold */
      header.style.background = scrolled ? 'rgba(10, 10, 10, 0.95)' : 'transparent';
      header.style.backdropFilter = scrolled ? 'blur(10px)' : 'none';
      header.style.webkitBackdropFilter = scrolled ? 'blur(10px)' : 'none'; /* Added for Safari compatibility */
    });

This code snippet performs two separate, but related tasks. Here's what each section does:

1. Commented Out Smooth Scroll for Anchor Links

The commented-out code was intended to provide smooth scrolling behavior for anchor links in the web page, but it has been disabled (commented out) because the layout does not include any anchor links.
If it were active, it would:
- Add an event listener to all <a> elements with href attributes that start with # (indicating an internal anchor link on the page).
- When such a link is clicked, it would:
  1. Prevent the default click behavior using e.preventDefault().
  2. Find the target element using the value of the href attribute and document.querySelector.
  3. Use scrollIntoView with the smooth behavior to scroll to the target element.

2. Sticky Header Effect

The active code (not commented out) adds a "sticky" effect to the header when the user scrolls down the page.
Here’s how it works:
- A scroll event listener is attached to the window object. This event triggers any time the user scrolls the page.
- Within the event, it:
  1. Selects the <header> element using document.querySelector.
  2. Checks if the vertical scroll position (window.scrollY) is greater than 50 pixels.
  3. If the page is scrolled down more than 50 pixels:
    - Sets the header's background color to 'rgba(10, 10, 10, 0.95)', making it a translucent dark color.
    - Adds a blur effect to the header using the backdropFilter CSS property and its Safari-compatible equivalent (webkitBackdropFilter).
  4. If the scroll position is less than or equal to 50 pixels:
    - Resets the header's background to 'transparent', removing the dark background.
    - Removes the blur effect by setting backdropFilter and webkitBackdropFilter to 'none'.

In short:

The commented-out portion relates to smooth scrolling for anchor links (disabled as unnecessary for the current page).
The active portion applies a sticky effect to the <header> element when scrolling beyond 50 pixels, changing its background and applying a blur effect dynamically.
