What causes the menu icon to shift to the left upon clicking it?

I'm currently working on a website project that involves implementing a fixed navbar with jQuery sliding animation for the menu. However, I've encountered an issue where the "menu_icon" is getting pushed to the left every time the menu slides down, only to return to its original position when the menu slides back up. I suspect there may be an error in my HTML structure or CSS code causing this behavior. As someone who is still learning CSS, my code might be a bit messy. Any guidance on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to check out our code on CodePen.

Appreciate your help!

Answer №1

The reason for this behavior is that the #sliding element is set to static/relative positioning, causing it to expand its parent's width. In addition, because the direction of flow is left-to-right (ltr), the button remains in the left corner of the #menu container.

To resolve this issue, you can adjust the text-align property of the #menu element and apply the appropriate text-align to the #sliding element, or alternatively, change the positioning of #sliding to absolute/fixed.

Answer №2

Your sliding div currently has a relative/static position. When the jQuery sliding function is executed, the div slides up and becomes hidden. However, when you click on it again, it should expand to its full width of 15em. This behavior seems to be causing an issue. Check out this CodePen for reference.

#menu_icon {
    display: block;
    text-align: right;
}

To fix this problem, add the provided code snippet to your existing code. This will ensure that the anchor div expands to full width and aligns the text to the right side.
