What’s Different in This Version?
This version uses the same basic hamburger menu idea, but the icon itself also animates. When the menu opens, the three lines transform into an “X” shape.
How It Works
- A hidden checkbox controls the open and closed state.
- A label acts as the clickable hamburger button.
- Each line of the icon is built with a
span. - CSS transforms and transitions animate the icon when the menu is opened.
What to Notice
- The menu behavior is similar to the main hamburger menu example.
- The biggest difference is the icon animation.
- This version adds more visual polish, but it also requires more CSS.
Try It
Make your browser window smaller, then click the animated icon to open and close the menu.
