Responsive navbar tutorial using HTML CSS & JS

[@spacemanstrikesagain]

I found the Hamburger mobile navigation menu tough to grasp. I read multiple articles, played around with codepens, watched videos etc. This is the only video that explained the whole thing in a truly beginner friendly way. And I appreciate the effort that you put into it Mr. Powell. Kudos and millions of thanks ❤❤

[@electronicbasics1856]

the tutorial everyone needed but no one asked for.

[@fsc_oficial]

Dude...i watch your videos for almost 1 year now. This is my first comm and I wanted to say that I just LOVE THE WAY YOU TALK.

[@sheriffcrandy]

This is a super awesome tutorial, with a couple caveats: 1.) when the menu is opened and you click on one of the nav links to navigate to a new page, the menu stays open on the new page. 2.) When window resizing, the menu suddenly opens and closes which I think is bad design 3.) If you want to animate the hamburger icon from the three horizonal lines to an 'X' shape, you're going to have to rework the css since he is using an animation on an image.

[@irinaka4351]

Could you tell me how can I get rid of this suddenly appearing menu when resizing the window? I've been thinking the whole day about it :((( Thank you!

[@sheriffcrandy]

@@irinaka4351 I had to re-work the css into a completely different implementation. Don't put the menu animation under the media query because you won't be able to prevent the menu from automatically appearing on page resize. Instead, make the menu appear or disappear on the hamburger button click using javascript. Use can use 'is-active' flags and toggle them on or off when the hamburger button is clicked with js and then use those in your css to manipulate the behavior.

[@aakashkathait8328]

I just completed you “conquering responsive layout” course , it changed my mind completely on how I see html and css. Thank you for such quality content for free

[@CodeWithSahand]

The Navbar looks amazing. I like the idea.

[@JohnWin-q7w]

This man is pure gold. The sheer number of informative videos on CSS instead of just blabbering is insane. Get this man a subscription.

[@digitalalien3534]

I just finished the full course on scrimba and it was GREAT. A ton of information on proper workflow and good practices, and lots of pointers on useful things I need to learn more about. I've been trying to get better at building complete websites (instead of small challenges like hovercards etc) and learn some JS along the way, and I was a little overwhelmed and sometimes felt lost as to where to start and what's important. But with this course the picture became much clearer. It was exactly what I needed, so thank you!

[@LibraryOfTheOligarchs]

Where are you along in your journey now? Good at JS?

[@DanteMishima]

And you wonder why we call you king? How you knew this is what I needed is beyond me

[@SirMika9]

That's so cool that you take your time and explain things well like with a friend. Really enjoyable to watch.

[@ZANES-YT]

This guy us one of the best content based programming markup language course tutor ever, so much valuable content in the last 3 years from you thanks for helping me being the css designer I am now.

I can hear both hope and pleading in that sentence that 'Internet explorer is dead' :) Great video as always.

[@abadlibadreddine1960]

I started following this guys 2 months ago, i can now say that i fell in love with CSS

[@Anth-ony]

Great video. I know you're the "CSS King", however, may I suggest that you create some very basic JS tutorials on the most common use-cases of said code? I've learned more about the basics of JS from you, as you touch on it in your videos, and how to implement them in my own projects than I have from people actually teaching straight up JS. You're very concise in how you create/explain those sections in your videos and I'm sure others would enjoy this as much as I would. Plus, it would be a bit of a change up for you to keep things fresh. Anyway, keep it up Kevin, you're one of my favourite KZbinr!

[@nv3796]

+1 - things like how to add a secure login, etc; I know these will require databases, but not sure how to approach this problem

[@Petahsaur]

Perfect timing Kevin, Just as I started to look into navbars and js last 2-3 days Thanks!

[@shoumikkumbhakar6375]

lol me too

[@cemrekur5700]

Great video , only problem that you may come across , you should also put visibility:hidden to nav-links to avoid tabbing over the screen and also to get around transition issues adding simple delay to transform can do the trick!

[@Santino11238]

Thank you, as a MERN stack dev I'm always looking to learn more styling. Appreciate the content.

[@Pavel-wj7gy]

Sometimes I get to do navbar, footer or any kind of layout components that I forget how to do. On those days, I come to Kevin Powell channel for ideas and you never disappoint! Truly a joy to watch someone as fascinated by CSS as you.

[@CarlWicker]

I'm currently working on this project in ReactJS, great project with some interesting challenges. It's very handy to have the figma files.

[@yajirushik2871]

6 months ago I wouldn't know how to do it, so I have subscribed to You. Actually I just have moved to end of video and after looking at final effect I can remake it from scratch. Thank You for the whole time which You are spending to teach us. Also still looking for front-end job but need to learn a lot more :D

[@aynurseyfullazade786]

more things like that wish you to be able to do🎉

[@davidtaylorgarcia8556]

Certainly you are as good as a web-dev-youtuber can be. Your clarifications are awesome, your content is incredibly well structured, even your voice tone gets on really well with the content. Thx a lot!

Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@Yuri-qr7ml]

So I started this tutorial a few months back as I thought it could be a fun project, got frustrated by the button for the nav not doing what it should be doing. Now my journey has only started earlier this year with little time but it seems that I had a . instead of a , in the js. So I wanted to come back and say, fantastic tutorial!

[@chawza8402]

Thank you Kevin. This video showed me most of the fundamental that I need to start up my responsive web. other vids does not really explain how exactly how its done so they doesn't teach anything lol

[@ajjo5513]

This is so well explained. Love that you cover so many newer css properties, logical properties as well as best practices like aria. This is quality education.

[@dev_ression]

agreed!

[@sameerahlawat8480]

Mr. Kevin you teaches the beauty of of html css & js in beast mode .

You reall are CSS-king just like Kyle said. I have learned alot from you, thank you!

[@trentturner1546]

Thanks for this tutorial Kevin. I’ve been watching you for a while and always enjoy learning from and watching you. This one helped me switch my default mobile navigation to use translate x instead of animating the left and right properties to show and hide my menus. A much better way of doing it. Thanks again.

[@dev_ression]

Kevin is fantastic

[@nof123]

been learning css for 2 months and wow I learned alot from this vid

[@nicolasnog26]

Great video, you are inspiring me to get in more depth touch and play around with CSS instead of using already done templates for my projects!

[@perkin524]

Oh Yes! What an excellent tutorial - you were on top form for this one Kevin. So helpful to see modern CSS rules in actual use cases like this where you can not only see how they work but also how they save time and effort.

Hi Kev, this is one of the most easiest and well explained videos on youtube. Well done. Thanks for making it. 💖💖

[@oskrm]

One note, in chrome the backdrop-filter blur is very bad for large blur values, and you get edge bleed. What works better is to use an SVG blur with URL value.

[@shoumikkumbhakar6375]

and firefox doesn't even support it

[@oskrm]

@@craigburton4447 using it in backdrop-filter: url(#svgBlur) Would work as you would expect

[@craigburton4447]

@@oskrm Ah sorry, I thought you meant it replaced the backdrop functionality, my bad.

[@kevinwg02]

it's what I normally use as well

[@alexanderdavin1655]

It's really helpful explaining every attribute/property as you go along, thanks for that.

[@ahooton]

Kevin, I spotted something when implementing this in my project; if the mobile navigation is still in its expanded state, and the browser window is manually resized so that it passes into desktop view, then aria-expanded and data-visible will still remain set to 'true'. Additional JS logic can be added to ensure these attributes are set to 'false' if this scenario occurs.

[@lonelysock3746]

Great video! However, I would've really liked to see you go over the sr-only class you made; I've run into some issues with my button and I believe it's because there's some more information I'm missing

[@jacoblockwood4034]

I'm glad you dropped the "madly, deeply in love with CSS" for just "in love with CSS." it just sounds much less.. invasive? I don't know, but I think it was a good choice.

Cool video Kev. Just one correction, display: none doesn't remove element from the DOM, rather from the document flow. Keep up the good work.

[@VitoOnYoutube]

Is there any advantage in making the span for "Menu" instead of setting aria-label=”Open menu” directly on the button?

[@GoldoMania.]

Hello Kevin! i realy love what you are doing, great job.

[@darthtorus9341]

for the test you could also do `primaryNav.setAttribute('data-visible', visibility === "true" ? "true" : "false")`

[@KOBE42__]

I think Kevin just wanted to be more explicit and show how it works to people who might not be so familiar with JS. But you are right, I used the ternary operators too as I like how short and sweet they are for basic conditionals.

[@ich6885]

Hey, liked your tutorial and your use of attributes for the nav toggle, although I'd like to point out that you can also access data-attributes with nav.dataset.visible instead of nav.getAttribute('data-visible') :)

[@visitforthemusic]

Indeed, this is one benefit of data-* over other attributes… we have read/write access via the dataset property.

[@Mokhet]

nav.dataset.visible = nav.dataset.visible == "true" ? "false" : "true";
