Hey, I'm searching for a simple 2-level popup menu that could change color and size with the help of CSS. I want the menu to appear on the left of the page, be opened by clicking on the burger icon, and be closed by clicking the cross or someplace outside the menu itself. It also has to function on both smartphones and desktops.
I saw lots of solutions, but all seem too complicated and cumbersome.
Can you help me find such a tool?
Albeit that the poster showed no effort or any code, this is a highly asked question, see below sample on how to create such an animated side navigation bar (extract from W3Schools) -
Add HTML -
<div id="mySidenav" class="sidenav">
<a href="javascript:void(0)" class="closebtn" onclick="closeNav()">×</a>
<a href="#">About</a>
<a href="#">Services</a>
<a href="#">Clients</a>
<a href="#">Contact</a>
</div>
<!-- Use any element to open the sidenav -->
<span onclick="openNav()">open</span>
<!-- Add all page content inside this div if you want the side nav to push page content to the right (not used if you only want the sidenav to sit on top of the page -->
<div id="main">
...
</div>Add CSS file -
/* The side navigation menu */
.sidenav {
height: 100%; /* 100% Full-height */
width: 0; /* 0 width - change this with JavaScript */
position: fixed; /* Stay in place */
z-index: 1; /* Stay on top */
top: 0; /* Stay at the top */
left: 0;
background-color: #111; /* Black*/
overflow-x: hidden; /* Disable horizontal scroll */
padding-top: 60px; /* Place content 60px from the top */
transition: 0.5s; /* 0.5 second transition effect to slide in the sidenav */
}
/* The navigation menu links */
.sidenav a {
padding: 8px 8px 8px 32px;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 25px;
color: #818181;
display: block;
transition: 0.3s;
}
/* When you mouse over the navigation links, change their color */
.sidenav a:hover {
color: #f1f1f1;
}
/* Position and style the close button (top right corner) */
.sidenav .closebtn {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 25px;
font-size: 36px;
margin-left: 50px;
}
/* Style page content - use this if you want to push the page content to the right when you open the side navigation */
#main {
transition: margin-left .5s;
padding: 20px;
}
/* On smaller screens, where height is less than 450px, change the style of the sidenav (less padding and a smaller font size) */
@media screen and (max-height: 450px) {
.sidenav {padding-top: 15px;}
.sidenav a {font-size: 18px;}
}User can now tweak the colors, sizes etc. to suit their own needs.
