Typically the label would come before the input or wrap around the input. The trigger to slide out our menu is a checkbox input with a label.Here I’m using an unordered list, which is common. You can use whatever HTML tags you want to build the navigation. The navigation section is first in the source order because it’s “behind” everything else on the site.You can see our site’s markup is made up of three main elements: the navigation, a checkbox and label pair, and the site’s actual content.

This article will show you how to make a simple version of the off-canvas menu and sliding effect using only CSS.īefore we get started, I’d like to make a note that using this method for creating the drawer menu means your site’s navigation will always be in a drawer, regardless of viewport size.
While there are plenty of jQuery plugins that will create this effect for you, it’s actually pretty easy to achieve without using any JavaScript at all. More and more sites feature a fixed-position icon that, when tapped, pushes the entire site to the side to reveal a hidden navigation menu. Hamburger menu, drawer menu, off-canvas menu: Whatever you call it, hiding a website’s primary navigation just off screen is becoming a ubiquitous pattern in responsive web design.
