As you can see in the image, this is a Side Navigation Menu Bar that is based on only HTML and CSS. The <input> checkbox tag is used to show and hide the sidebar. That means when you click on that ‘X’ button the sidebar will be slide on the left side and the only menu button is shown (3 lines bar) and again when you click on that 3 lines bar the Sidebar will be slide-right side.
When you click on that three-line bars, the checkbox will be checked and the Side Menu Bar is shown and when you again click on that bars, the checkbox will be unchecked and that shown menu bar will be hidden. This process is only done by HTML <input type=”checkbox”> tag and <label> tag.
