DAY 7 PROJECT: NETFLIX MOBILE NAVIGATION

Creating a Netflix-Inspired Mobile Navigation Website

Image description

Netflix has revolutionized how we consume entertainment, and their user-friendly mobile navigation is a key part of their success. In this tutorial, we'll walk through how to recreate a similar navigation experience using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Prerequisites
Before we begin, ensure you have a basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You'll need a text editor and a web browser to follow along.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language)

Overview:
HTML is the standard language used to create and design the structure of web pages. It provides the basic building blocks of a website by defining elements like headings, paragraphs, links, images, and other types of content.

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)

Overview:
CSS is used to control the appearance and layout of HTML elements. It separates content from design, allowing you to style and layout web pages more efficiently.

JavaScript (JS)

Overview:
JavaScript is a scripting language that enables interactive features on websites. It allows you to manipulate HTML and CSS dynamically, handle events, and create rich web applications.

This JavaScript code snippet handles the functionality for toggling a navigation menu's visibility using two buttons: an "open" button and a "close" button.

Element Selection:

  • open_btn and close_btn are assigned to the buttons responsible for opening and closing the menu, respectively.
  • nav selects all elements with the class nav, which represent the menu items or sections to be shown or hidden.

Open Button Functionality:

When the open_btn is clicked, it triggers an event listener that loops through all nav elements and adds the visible class to each. This class is typically used in CSS to make the navigation menu visible, such as by changing its display property.

Close Button Functionality:

When the close_btn is clicked, it triggers an event listener that loops through all nav elements and removes the visible class from each. This hides the navigation menu, as defined by CSS rules associated with the visible class.

By following these steps, you've created a responsive Netflix-inspired mobile navigation website using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Feel free to customize further and add additional features to enhance the user experience!
