Designing the Structure: In the previous section, we have created the structure of the basic website where we are going to use hoverable Side Navigation with the icon. In this section, we will design the structure and attach the icons for each navbar.
CSS code to look good the structure:Â
Â
html
<style>
/* Head banner team */
.banner {
text-align: center;
width: ;
}
h1 {
color: green;
}
/* styling sidebar */
.sidehoverbar a {
background-color: grey;
position: absolute;
font-size: 22px;
text-decoration: none;
Color: white;
padding: 10px;
border-radius: 0px 25px 25px 0px;
left: -190px;
transition: 0.5s;
opacity: 0.5;
}
/* Hover effect on sidebar */
.sidehoverbar a:hover {
left: 0px;
opacity: 1;
background-color: #4CAF50;
}
/* float icons*/
.sidehoverbar i {
float: right;
}
/* defining position of each nav bar */
.article {
top: 50px;
width: 210px;
height: 30px;
}
.Interview {
top: 110px;
width: 210px;
height: 30px;
}
.Scripter {
top: 170px;
width: 210px;
height: 30px;
}
.Suggested {
top: 230px;
width: 210px;
height: 30px;
}
.Practice {
top: 290px;
width: 210px;
height: 30px;
}
/* content margin */
.hoverable-topic {
margin-left: 55px;
}
</style>
