I created a webpage with a sidebar that has links to other parts of my website. The sidebar is hidden (not really hidden, just off the page using left: -16vw) but has a button that sticks out for the visitor to see. What I would like is when the visitor clicks on the button the sidebar slides out. Here is what my code looks like:
HMTL:
<div id="sideBar">
<button id="navButton" type="button">>></button>
<nav>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Stuff</a></li>
<li><a href="#">More Stuff</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Even More Stuff</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
CSS:
#sideBar {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row-reverse;
position: fixed;
height: 84vh;
min-width: 18vw;
top: 8vh;
left: -16vw;
animation: slide;
animation-duration: .3s;
animation-timing-function: ease-in;
animation-delay: 0s;
animation-fill-mode: forwards;
animation-play-state: paused;
}
@keyframes slide {
0% {
transform: translateX(0);
}
100% {
transform: translateX(16vw);
}
}
nav {
background-color: gray;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
#navButton {
min-width:2vw;
margin-left: -1px;
background-color: rgb(228, 228, 228);
border: 2px solid rgb(51, 51, 51);
border-radius: 0 50px 50px 0;
font-size: 1.5rem;
font-weight: bold;
opacity: .5;
transition:
opacity .3s,
background-color 0s;
}
#navButton:active {
background-color: white;
}
#navButton:active + #sideBar {
animation-play-state: running;
}
#navButton:hover {
opacity: 1;
cursor: pointer;
}
I did read somewhere online that this might need JavaScript in order to make this work. Is there anyway I can do this only using CSS and HTML? I haven’t learned JavaScript yet and I’m just trying to stick with only HTML/CSS. I’m trying to learn as much as I can with these two before moving on. Thank you guys in advance for your help I really appreciate it. Also if you have any tips with my code to make it better please let me know; I want to learn as much as I can.
The animation works when I comment out the "animation-play-state" so I know that it works. I’ve also tried just adding to just the "active" pseudo-class alone and that didn’t work. I tried adding it to "hover" as well and that didn’t work either.
