How can I make an accordion menu with CSS3?


How can I create an expandable menu with only HTML5 and CSS3?

I want to display only 4 menu items and a view all list item, where clicking view all should expand all of the list items.


Solution

  • There are several ways to make it! For example the following. The HTML looks like this. There is a div, that you click and a div underneath that will expand. This is only possible with the pseudo-selector :target.

    <div class="accordion">
        <div id="one" class="section">
                <h3>
                        <a href="#one">Heading 1</a>
                </h3>
                <div>
                        <p>Content</p>
                </div>
        </div>
        <div id="two" class="section">
                <h3>
                        <a href="#two">Heading 2</a>
                </h3>
                <div>
                        <p>Content</p>
                </div>
        </div>
    </div>​
    
    
    
    
    .accordion h3 + div {
            height: 0;
            overflow: hidden;
            -webkit-transition: height 0.3s ease-in;
            -moz-transition: height 0.3s ease-in;
            -o-transition: height 0.3s ease-in;
            -ms-transition: height 0.3s ease-in;
            transition: height 0.3s ease-in;
    }
    
    .accordion :target h3 + div {
            height: 100px;
    }
    
    .accordion .section.large:target h3 + div {
            overflow: auto;
    }
