Hello viewers, in this blog I m going to create an Animated Sidebar Menu by using only HTML & CSS. In my earlier blog, I have shared a responsive Drop-down Navigation Menu bar, now I will go for the sidebar.
Simply, a sidebar is a bar of various hyperlinks that is the position in the top left or side of the webpage. Mainly sidebar is used when web page width decreased. It is the most important part of responsive websites. The sidebar contains several hyperlinks to makes a quick move for users from one webpage to another.
As you can see on the given image on the webpage. On the left side of the image, there is a black color bar with hyperlinks this is known as a sidebar. In this program[Animated Sidebar], that sidebar is hidden on the left side of the screen. There is only one button on the screen and when we clicked that button a sidebar smoothly comes from the right side to the left side as looks like a given image and that button disappear. To close the sidebar we have to click on the cancel button which you can see on the top left side of the image.
If you are feeling difficulty understanding this program[Sidebar Menu]. You can watch a full video tutorial of this program which is given below;
Video Tutorial of Animated Sidebar Menu using HTML & CSS
As you have seen in the video. At first, there is only one button on the screen. When we clicked on that button, the button was hide and the smooth sidebar comes from the right side to the left side, and also cancel button appears on the top side of the bar. Basically, to enable the sidebar menu, I have used the first button and to disable the sidebar I have used the “cancel” button. It is programmed by only HTML & CSS. To control this sidebar I have used an HTML input checkbox and label tag.
