What is the best way to customize the appearance of the elements in the hamburger menu within a Bootstrap navigation bar?

I have successfully implemented a responsive navbar using Bootstrap 4. When the screen size is large, there are 2 buttons displayed, and when it's small, a hamburger menu appears.

[insert image description here][1][insert image description here][2]

My question is, how can I style the elements in the navbar so that when they appear as part of the hamburger menu, they don't look like buttons anymore?

Thank you!

Below is the code I used:

  <a class="navbar-brand" href="index.html">MyJobBoard</a>
  <button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarTogglerDemo02" aria-controls="navbarTogglerDemo02" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
  <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
  </button>
  <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarTogglerDemo02">
    <ul class="navbar-nav navbar-right ml-auto mt-2 mt-lg-0 float-right text-right">
      <li class="nav-item active">
        <a class="nav-link post-a-job-button pull-right">Create a profile</a>
      </li>
      <li class="nav-item">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-light mr-3 pull-right">Sign In</button>
      </li>
      <li class="nav-item">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary mr-3 pull-right">Post a Job</button>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </div>

Answer №1

To ensure a seamless user experience, it is advisable to structure all navigation items as clickable links to maintain consistency across different screen sizes. On smaller screens, the Bootstrap slide-down menu will be utilized, while custom button styles can be applied for larger displays.

If your sign-in and post-a-job forms are located on separate pages, direct links can be used to guide users to these pages. However, if modal pop-ups are used for form presentation, JavaScript functions will be necessary to trigger the modals.

In the provided example, the functionality of the post-a-job button has been disabled to demonstrate how buttons can be deactivated for users who are not logged in, thus preventing them from posting a job:

$('a[href$="#signInModal"]').on("click", function() {
            $("#signInModal").modal('show');
        });

        $('a[href$="#postJobModal"]').on("click", function() {
            $("#postJobModal").modal('show');
        });
