I am trying to have my navigation bar change from transparent background to a black background when scrolling.

This is my html:

<script>
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $(window).on("scroll",function(){
    
            if($(document).scrollTop() > 50)
            {
                $("#main-nav").css('background', 'black !important;');
            }
            else
            {
                $("#main-nav").css('background','transparent !important;');
            }
        })
    });
</script>

<div class="container-fluid" id="top-main"> 

    <div id="top_text">
        <h1>Cuppela Made With Sugar</h1>

<footer>
    <div class="container-fluid" id="footer-content">
    <h3>Test</h3>
    </div>
</footer>

</body>
</html>

This is my css:

CSS

body{
    margin: 0px;
}

li a:hover {
    background: #ff9900;
    border-radius: 10px;
}

li a{
    color: white !important;
}

.nav-link{
    padding: 0 0 .2rem
}

#top-main{
    background-image: url(../images/cake_six_two.jpg);
    height: 100vh;
}

#nav-menu{
    font-size: medium;
    position: relative;
}

#top_text{
    color: white;
    text-align: center;
    position: relative;
    top: 50%;
    left: 50%;
    /* bring your own prefixes */
    transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}

h1{
    font-size: 500%;
    text-align: center;
}


h2{
    text-align: center;
}

#best-sellers{
    text-align: center;
}

#best-seller-cakes{
    text-align: center;
}

h4
{
    font-size: x-large;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;
}

#footer-content
{
    text-align: center;
}

What I have tried:

I have tried solutions from javascript - How to Change Navigation Bar Background with Scroll? - Stack Overflow[^] and javascript - Changing nav-bar color after scrolling? - Stack Overflow[^] but it does not work for me.

I have removed the link to your website, since it made your question look a bit like spam. You've pasted the relevant code into your question, so there's no need for the link.

I'd be inclined to toggle a class on the body element, and use CSS to control the colours. For example:

JavaScript

$(function() {
    $(window).on("scroll", function() {
        $("body").toggleClass("scrolled", $(document).scrollTop() > 50);
    })
});

CSS

#main-nav{
    background: transparent;
    transition: background 0.3s;
}
.scrolled #main-nav {
    background: black;
}

Demo[^]

Edit: If you can drop support for Internet Explorer, you can use the Intersection Observer API to make this slightly more efficient:

JavaScript

$(function() {
    const scrollPoint = 50;

    let targetPixel = document.createElement("div");

    targetPixel.style.cssText = `
  position: absolute;
  top: ${scrollPoint}px;
  left: 0;
  width: 1px;
  height: 1px;
`;

    targetPixel = document.body.appendChild(targetPixel);

    const observer = new IntersectionObserver(entries => {
        const scrolled = entries[0].boundingClientRect.y < 0;
        if (scrolled) {
            document.body.classList.add("scrolled");
        } else {
            document.body.classList.remove("scrolled");
        }
    });

    observer.observe(targetPixel);
});
