Hi! Since you wanted to know how a navigation bar can be created for mobile view, here's a step-by-step approach:
- Create a Button for the Mobile Menu
- Add a button with an icon-menu image inside the
nav
element, positioned after thediv
with classaTagDiv
. - The button will act as the trigger to open/close the navigation bar.
- Add a button with an icon-menu image inside the
<nav> <div class="aTagDiv"> ... </div> <button class="menu-btn"> <img src="./icon-menu.svg" alt="menu icon" /> </button> </nav>

- Toggle the Navigation Drawer on Button Click
- Add an
active
class to the navigation drawer (aTagDiv
) when the button is clicked. This will slide it into view. - Also, change the menu icon to a close icon in the button.
- Add an
.aTagDiv.active { transform: translateX(0); /* Slide into view */ }
- JavaScript to Handle Click Events
- Add a JavaScript snippet to toggle the
active
class and change the button's icon dynamically.
- Add a JavaScript snippet to toggle the
