Menu Overlay (jQuery/CSS)

I am in the process of developing a website that is optimized for both mobile and desktop devices. I am currently brainstorming ideas for the main navigation, which I envision as an overlay that slides down similar to .

However, I am struggling to create this overlay effect. So far, all I have achieved is having a section of the page slide down when the menu button is clicked, which is not quite what I had in mind.

This is the syntax of the menu:

<div id="navContainer">  
    <div id="topNav">
    <div class="top">
    <div class="heading">
        <div id="logo">LOGO</div>
    </div>
    <a href="#" class="menu">MENU</a> 
</div>

        </div>


    </div>

<div class="drawer">
<nav>
  <ul class="nav nav-tabs nav-stacked">
    <li><a href="#">Menu Item</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Menu Item</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Menu Item</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Menu Item</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Menu Item</a></li>
  </ul>
</nav>
</div>

The functionality of the menu is similar to this example: http://jsfiddle.net/RFpDJ/1/, but I am looking for it to overlay the content rather than push it down.
Any suggestions or solutions?

Answer №1

To take the menu out of its normal layout flow, you can easily use position: absolute;

.drawer {
    position: absolute;
    width: 100%;
}

http://jsfiddle.net/RFpDJ/12/

I have also placed the content outside of .drawer to prevent it from being pushed down with the menu. (Made some minor adjustments to other values as well, but they aren't crucial.)

Answer №2

You can check out my resolution for the problem.

I decided to switch the menu to absolute positioning (position:absolute;) and relocated the content div outside of the banner.

Answer №3

take a look at this: 

.drawer {
  position: absolute;
  width:100%;
  top:-100px;
}

.content{
 top:90px;
 position:absolute;
 width:100%;
 height:400px;
}
