I recently attempted to create a responsive navigation bar using a YouTube tutorial that utilizes a checkbox to display and hide the menu on smaller screens. Despite meticulously following the tutorial and testing different browsers such as Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, I encountered an issue where the menu fails to appear when the checkbox is clicked. I even tried reorganizing my HTML tags based on the sibling combinator without any success. Below are the relevant sections of my code:
@media (max-width: 858px) {
ul {
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
height: 100vh;
background: #2c3e50;
top: 80px;
left: -100%;
text-align: center;
transition: all .5s;
}
.check:checked~ul {
left: 0;
}
}<header>
<nav>
<img class="logo" src="/responsive1/logo.svg" alt="logo">
<input type="checkbox" id="check" class="check">
<label for="check" class="checkbtn">
<i class="fas fa-bars"></i>
</label>
<ul>
<li><a href="#" class="active">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">About</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Services</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
</header>Upon further investigation, I discovered that the media query is not recognized when the ~ character is added and the checkbox is clicked within the browser's inspector. However, removing the ~ enables the media query to function normally. The tutorial I referenced can be found here, specifically at the 6:30 mark.
How can I resolve this issue and ensure that the menu appears correctly upon clicking the checkbox? What elements may be missing in my CSS or HTML configuration?
