Work Due

Build a Step 9 page. Upload to server.

This page must include at least one navbar using an unordered list and list items. (Two are encouraged. One in header one in footer). The same navbar should be used on ALL pages. It does need a link to "Second Site". That link is not expected to function at this time.

Make sure the navbar responds to Media Screen code. It is important that it changes to a hamburger menu for small screens.

CSS Navigation Bar
Navigation Bars
Having easy-to-use navigation is important for any web site.
With CSS you can transform boring HTML menus into good-looking navigation bars.


Navigation Bar = List of Links
A navigation bar uses standard HTML as a base.
In our examples we will build the navigation bar from a standard HTML list.

A navigation bar is basically a list of links, so using the ul> and <li> elements makes perfect sense:
Example

<ul>
<li><a href="default.asp">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="news.asp">News</a></li>
<li><a href="contact.asp">Contact</a></li>
<li><a href="about.asp">About</a></li>
</ul>

Now let's remove the bullets and the margins and padding from the list:
Example
ul ｛
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}


Example explained:
list-style-type: none; - Removes the bullets. A navigation bar does not need list markers
Set margin: 0; and padding: 0; to remove browser default settings
The code in the example above is the standard code used in both vertical, and horizontal navigation bars.


Vertical Navigation Bar
To build a vertical navigation bar, you can style the <a> elements inside the list, in addition to the code above:
Example
li a ｛
display: block;
width: 60px;
}


Example explained:
display: block; - Displaying the links as block elements makes the whole link area clickable (not just the text), and it allows us to specify the width (and padding, margin, height, etc. if you want)
width: 60px; - Block elements take up the full width available by default. We want to specify a 60 pixels width
You can also set the width of <ul>, and remove the width of <a>, as they will take up the full width available when displayed as block elements. This will produce the same result as our previous example:


Example
ul ｛
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 60px;
}

li a ｛
display: block;
}


Vertical Navigation Bar Examples
Create a basic vertical navigation bar with a gray background color and change the background color of the links when the user moves the mouse over them:

Example
ul ｛
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 200px;
background-color: #f1f1f1;
}
li a ｛
display: block;
color: #000;
padding: 8px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
}

/﹡ Change the link color on hover ﹡/
li a:hover ｛
background-color: #555;
color: white;
}
