Pure CSS Horizontal Menu
We come across horizontal menus on almost every website. Pure CSS helps us implement such menus with ease by using the pure-menu class. Pure-menu class by default creates a vertical menu which we can simply convert into a horizontal one by adding the class pure-menu-horizontal. One of the most common uses of a horizontal menu is in navigation bars (navbars).
We will use the following classes to help us achieve the goal at hand:
- pure-menu: This helps us create a menu. (creates a vertical menu by default)
- pure-menu-horizontal: This helps us create a horizontal menu.
- pure-menu-list: This helps us specify the list which contains the menu items.
- pure-menu-item: This helps us specify that a particular item belongs in the list
- pure-menu-link: This helps us specify the links in the menu items
- pure-menu-heading: This helps us specify a heading for our menu
Syntax:
<div class="pure-menu pure-menu-horizontal">
<ul class="pure-menu-list">
<li class="pure-menu-heading">...</li>
<li class="pure-menu-item">
<a href="#" class="pure-menu-link">
...
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>Note: Do not forget to add the pure CSS CDN to be able to use the pure CSS framework
Example: Let us suppose we want to create a horizontal menu for the nav bar of our portfolio.
