Hello, readers . In today's blog, I have created A Responsive Menu which when we hover over the menu items it covers the area of the hovered item with a different color.
For creating the navigation menu , I need to create an unordered list with the class name as a menu containing the nested <li> in it.
Below is the code for the above example :-
<html>
<head>
<title>Responsive Menu With Hover Effect</title>
<style>
@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=PT+Sans);
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
html,
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
font-family: 'PT Sans', Arial, Verdana;
background-color: #eee;
}
h1 {
text-align: center;
font-size: 48px;
text-transform: uppercase;
letter-spacing: 3px;
color: #222;
}
.menu {
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 120px;
margin: auto;
position: relative;
background-color: #2c3e50;
z-index: 7;
}
.menu li {
float: left;
width: 25%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.menu a {
display: -webkit-box;
display: -webkit-flex;
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: flex;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
-webkit-box-pack: center;
-webkit-justify-content: center;
-ms-flex-pack: center;
justify-content: center;
-webkit-box-align: center;
-webkit-align-items: center;
-ms-flex-align: center;
align-items: center;
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
position: relative;
font-size: 18px;
z-index: 9;
}
a.active {
background-color: #e74c3c;
pointer-events: none;
}
li.slider {
width: 25%;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
background-color: #e74c3c;
z-index: 8;
-webkit-transition: left 0.4s, background-color 0.4s;
transition: left 0.4s, background-color 0.4s;
}
.menu li:nth-child(1):hover ~ .slider,
.menu li:nth-child(1):focus ~ .slider,
.menu li:nth-child(1):active ~ .slider {
left: 0;
background-color: #3498db;
}
.menu li:nth-child(2):hover ~ .slider,
.menu li:nth-child(2):focus ~ .slider,
.menu li:nth-child(2):active ~ .slider {
left: 25%;
background-color: #9b59b6;
}
.menu li:nth-child(3):hover ~ .slider,
.menu li:nth-child(3):focus ~ .slider,
.menu li:nth-child(3):active ~ .slider {
left: 50%;
background-color: #e67e22;
}
.menu li:nth-child(4):hover ~ .slider,
.menu li:nth-child(4):focus ~ .slider,
.menu li:nth-child(4):active ~ .slider {
left: 75%;
background-color: #16a085;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<h1>Responsive Menu Effect on Hover!</h1>
<ul class="menu">
<li><a href="#" class="active">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">About</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Portfolio</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
<li class="slider"></li>
</ul>
</div>
</body>
</html>
In the CSS code , I have set the height and width , margin and its position to relative to the menu class .
For the menu <li> I have to float it left with 25%. Now to the anchor tag nested in the menu class I have set its height and width to 100% with the position to relative.
To the first <li> of the menu class with the class name as active I have sets its background color.
Now to provide the transition effect to the slider class I had made its position to absolute and adjusted its height and width.
To this, I have set the transition to left for 0.4s with a different background-color.
Instead of applying the media query I have taken pseudo- elements i.e. the (nth-child) .
As in the example, I have taken four <li> so to each <li> (nth-child) whenever it has hovered, focused and active of the slider class , the background color changes to the left at different percentages with a particular order.
Conclusion:-
Hence, A responsive menu with the hover effect has been created.
Note:- The above code will run over all modern browsers such as on Firefox 7.0.1, Chrome 15.0, Internet Explorer 9.0 , Safari 5.1.1.
