Created on May 16th, 2015
Have you ever needed to have a sidebar menu in your site? Well, you're in luck because this video will show you step-by-step just how easy it is to create a sidebar menu with HTML, CSS, and a little bit of jQuery. Here is the HTML code you will need below:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>SideBar Menu</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<div id="sidebar">
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Link 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link 3</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link 4</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link 5</a></li>
</ul>
<div id="sidebar-btn">
<span></span>
<span></span>
<span></span>
</div>
</div>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#sidebar-btn').click(function(){
$('#sidebar').toggleClass('visible');
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>And here are the CSS styles from the video:
body{
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
font-family:"Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial;
}
#sidebar{
background:#151718;
width:200px;
height:100%;
display:block;
position:absolute;
left:-200px;
top:0px;
transition:left 0.3s linear;
}
#sidebar.visible{
left:0px;
transition:left 0.3s linear;
}
ul{
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
}
ul li{
list-style:none;
}
ul li a{
background:#1C1E1F;
color:#ccc;
border-bottom:1px solid #111;
display:block;
width:180px;
padding:10px;
text-decoration: none;
}
#sidebar-btn{
display:inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
width:20px;
height:15px;
cursor:pointer;
margin:20px;

}
#sidebar-btn span{
