Responsive Hamburger Header Navigation – side-menu-component

A responsive, cross-platform hamburger header navigation written in vanilla JavaScript and CSS/CSS3.

On small screen devices (e.g. mobile & tablet), the side-menu-component automatically collapses the regular horizontal site menu into an off-canvas side menu which can be toggled with a hamburger button.

Insert the side-menu-component’s JavaScript and CSS into the web page.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/main-header-menu.css">

Create the html for the header navigation.

<header class="main-header">
  <div class="container">
    <img class="main-header-logo" src="assets/images/logo.png"></img>
    <nav class="main-header-menu">
      <ul>
        <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">jQuery</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">HTML</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">CSS/CSS3</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
      </ul>
    </nav>
    <button class="main-header-side-menu-button" onclick="toggleSideMenu(1)">
      <div class="stripes"></div>
      <div class="stripes"></div>
      <div class="stripes"></div>
      <div class="stripes"></div>
    </button>
  </div>
</header>

Create another navigation for the off-canvas side menu. Done.
