skip to Main Content

So I wanted to create a collapse-able side navbar for a webpage. The navbar is working as expected, but how can I get the div with the background image to resize upon clicking the menu icon? After collapsing the navbar, I want the background image to take up 100% width. I added some jQuery to toggle between classes on the element, but the div isn’t budging.

The code is also here

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('a').on('click', function() {
    $(this).parents().siblings().children().removeClass('active');
    $(this).addClass('active');
  });

 $('.menu-icon').on('click', function() {
    $('.nav-bar').toggleClass('hide-nav');
    $('main').toggleClass('expand-main');
 });
});

  1. Add the background image to a parent container which takes up the whole width of the page, for example the body. Then add a background size of cover:

    https://codepen.io/alexplummer/pen/LOVzKN

    body {
    background: url(..image.jpg);
    background-size: cover;
    }

  2. The only change needed was the main selector from 'main'to'.main'

    $(document).ready(function() {
      $('a').on('click', function() {
        $(this).parents().siblings().children().removeClass('active');
        $(this).addClass('active');
      });
    
     $('.menu-icon').on('click', function() {
        $('.nav-bar').toggleClass('hide-nav');
        $('main').toggleClass('expand-main');
     });
    });

  3. 1.There is a typo error in the js code,

        $('.menu-icon').on('click', function() {
        $('.nav-bar').toggleClass('hide-nav');
        $('.main').toggleClass('expand-main'); /*Add .main to toggleClass*/
        });
    

    2.After correcting that remove transform property from

    .expand-main {
         /*transform: translateX(-25%); remove this*/
         width: 100%;
       }

  4. In JQ you use main . But main is a class so use .main instead.

    Also do not use translateX on the expand-main. increasing it’s width to 100% it’s enough

    See snippet below

    $(document).ready(function() {
      $('a').on('click', function() {
        $(this).parents().siblings().children().removeClass('active');
        $(this).addClass('active');
      });
    
      $('.menu-icon').on('click', function() {
        $('.nav-bar').toggleClass('hide-nav');
        $('.main').toggleClass('expand-main');
      });
    });
