Hello friends, Today in this blog I’m going to create a Side Bar Menu using HTML & CSS. In a previous blog, I have shared a Drop-down Sidebar Menu in HTML CSS and today I will create a Side Bar Menu by using only HTML & CSS
The sidebar is a graphical control element that displays different forms of information to the right side or left side of an application window. Sidebar consists several links and submenu which helps the user to move various site within the webpage and makes easier for users. The sidebar became an essential part of the web pages or application.
In this program [Side Bar Menu], at first, there is a button at the left top side corner of the webpage, when that button clicked a bar appears with siding animation from the left side which has many navigation links with icons. When you hover the particular link little box-shadow effect will appear on the background with a left side white line which looks more attractive. There is also some social media icon at the bottom of the side menu with having hover effect.
If you are feeling difficult to understand. You can watch the full video tutorial [Transparent Side Bar Menu]
Video Tutorial of the Transparent Side Bar Menu
In the video, you have seen the side navigation menu with icons and I hope you’ve understood the basic codes behind creating this program. As you know, this is a pure CSS program that means I used only HTML & CSS to create this sidebar. So if you’re a beginner, then you can easily understand the codes of this program and able to create this type of sidebar.
I have Used an HTML Input checkbox to make Side Bar Slide and control it with a label tag in HTML. If you like this [Side Bar Menu] you can get the source code that I have given below:
