I am a beginner just ended up with learning HTML and CSS and went onto doing of project but while doing it,i got stuck in making of hamburger menu though i am following the steps rightly from video still its not working.

As I have just completed HTML and CSS hence I am trying to do hamburger menu using this knowledge rather than java script as i haven't yet learned

So,can anyone rectify my error of why the menu not appearing?


Solution

  • Error is all about placing <input type="checkbox" id="click" /> on right place in code, it has to be in div with id menubar , please check what is tilda ~ in css [1]: https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/sel_gen_sibling.php . What trigers menu to open up is #click:checked ~ #sidebar { display: block; } so you could know what code is doing

    Here is fixed code snipped, look at <input type="checkbox" id="click" /> where is placed.

    * {
            padding: 0;
            margin: 0;
          }
    
          a {
            text-decoration: none;
            color: black;
          }
    
          ul {
            list-style: none;
          }
    
          /* Uppermost bar */
    
          #upper_bar {
            min-height: 10vh;
            max-width: 100vw;
            background-image: linear-gradient(120deg, #a1c4fd 0%, #c2e9fb 100%);
            /* background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.3); */
            color: black;
            display: flex;
            justify-content: center;
            align-items: center;
            font-size: 2vw;
          }
    
          /* Header */
    
          header {
