After incorporating some movement effects into my menu, suddenly none of the buttons were responding

While working on my website and trying to add a close menu button, I encountered an issue where all the menu buttons stopped functioning. Here is the HTML code snippet:

<div id="openMenuButton">
      <span style= "font-size:30px;cursor:pointer"
        onclick="openMenu()">&#9776; Menu
      </span>
    </div>
        <div id="menu">
        <div id="closebtn">
          <span style= "font-size:36px;cursor:pointer"
            onclick="closeMenu()">&times; Close
          </span>
        </div>
          <div id="menu-items">
              <a href="/" class="menu-item">Home</a>
              <a href="games/" class="menu-item">Games</a>
              <a href="/" class="menu-item">About</a>
              <a href="/" class="menu-item">Contact Us</a>
          </div>
          <div id="menu-background-pattern"></div>
      </div>

Additionally, here is the CSS affecting this functionality:

body {
  background-color: rgb(20, 20, 20);
  margin: 0px;
}

/* CSS rules for menu styling */

Lastly, here is the JavaScript functions for opening and closing the menu:

function openMenu() {
  document.getElementById("menu").style.width = "100%";
}

function closeMenu() {
  document.getElementById("menu").style.width = "0";
}

I've attempted some modifications in the code but the issue persisted, becoming even more erratic. Seeking guidance on resolving this dilemma.

Answer №1

It appears that the issue lies within your CSS.

The problem arises from setting the z-index to 5 for #menu-background-pattern, causing it to cover the #closebtn element.

To resolve this issue, you can assign a z-index greater than that of #menu-background-pattern to #closebtn.

I have tested this solution with your code and it worked successfully.

Please review the updated code below (just adjusted the z-index in your code):

function openMenu() {
      
      document.getElementById("menu").style.width = "100%";
    }
    
    function closeMenu() {
      document.getElementById("menu").style.width = "0";
    }
/* Your existing CSS */

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Hello World!</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css" />
  </head>
 
  <body>
     <div id="openMenuButton">
      <span style= "font-size:30px;cursor:pointer"
        onclick="openMenu()">&#9776; Menu
      </span>
    </div>
        <div id="menu">
        <div id="closebtn">
          <span style= "font-size:36px;cursor:pointer"
            onclick="closeMenu()">&times; Close
          </span>
        </div>
          <div id="menu-items">
              <a href="/" class="menu-item">Home</a>
              <a href="games/" class="menu-item">Games</a>
              <a href="/" class="menu-item">About</a>
              <a href="/" class="menu-item">Contact Us</a>
          </div>
          <div id="menu-background-pattern"></div>
      </div>
  </body>
 
</html>

.

As a suggestion, enhancing the scrollbar appearance with some webkit styles would be beneficial.

Answer №2

If you're facing an issue with your menu items being covered, I have a solution for you. By setting the z-index property to zero, the problem should be resolved.

function openMenu() {
  document.getElementById("menu").style.width = "100%";
}

function closeMenu() {
  document.getElementById("menu").style.width = "0";
}
body {
  background-color: rgb(20, 20, 20);
  margin: 0px;
}

#menu {
  height: 100%;
  width: 0;
  position: fixed;
  background-color: rgb(20, 20, 20);
  z-index: 3;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  overflow-x: hidden;
  transition: cubic-bezier(0.6, 0, 0.4, 1);
  transition-duration: 2s;
}

#openMenuButton {
  right: 25px;
  color: white;
  z-index: 0;
}

#closebtn {
  color: white;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  right: 25px;
  font-size: 36px;
  margin-left: 50px;
}

#menu-items {
  margin-left: clamp(4rem, 20vw, 48rem);
  position: relative;
  z-index: 4;
}

#menu-items:hover>.menu-item {
  opacity: 0.3;
}

#menu-items:hover>.menu-item:hover {
  opacity: 1;
}

.menu-item {
  color: white;
  font-size: clamp(3rem, 8vw, 8rem);
  font-family: "Ibarra Real Nova", serif;
  display: block;
  text-decoration: none;
  padding: clamp(0.25rem, 0.5vw, 1rem) 0rem;
  transition: opacity 400ms ease;
}

#menu-background-pattern {
  height: 100vh;
  width: 100vw;
  background-image: radial-gradient( rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1) 9%, transparent 9%);
  background-position: 0% 0%;
  background-size: 12vmin 12vmin;
  position: absolute;
  left: 0px;
  top: 0px;
  z-index: 0;
  transition: opacity 800ms ease, background-size 800ms ease;
}

#menu-items:hover~#menu-background-pattern {
  background-size: 11vmin 11vmin;
  opacity: 0.5;
}
<div id="openMenuButton">
  <span style="font-size:30px;cursor:pointer" onclick="openMenu()">&#9776; Menu
          </span>
</div>
<div id="menu">
  <div id="closebtn">
    <span style="font-size:36px;cursor:pointer" onclick="closeMenu()">&times; Close
              </span>
  </div>
  <div id="menu-items">
    <a href="/" class="menu-item">Home</a>
    <a href="games/" class="menu-item">Games</a>
    <a href="/" class="menu-item">About</a>
    <a href="/" class="menu-item">Contact Us</a>
