how can i make my mobile hamburger menu turn into an X and display the ul li with javascript
You can create a hamburger menu with Javascript, using several lines of code. First, you will need to create your HTML elements - an unordered list <ul> that will contain your menu items <li> and a hamburger icon that will activate the menu. Inside your CSS stylesheet, you will assign each element a class or ID and set it's initial visibility to hidden.
Next, you will need to write a few JavaScript functions to show, hide and toggle the visibility of your menu. Your code should look something like this:
js Copy code
// Get the hamburger icon by ID
let hamburger = document.getElementById("hamburger");
// Get the menu items by class
let dropdown = document.getElementsByClassName("nav__items");
// Add click listener to hamburger icon
hamburger.addEventListener("click", toggleMenu);
// Display or hide menu items
function toggleMenu(){
if (dropdown.style.display === "block") {
dropdown.style.display = "none";
} else {
dropdown.style.display = "block";
}
}
Lastly, you will need to create two functions that will change your hamburger icon into an X, when the menu is visible and back to a hamburger icon when it's not. Depending on your styling of your icon, you will have to change the html and/or styling, accordingly. If your initial hamburger icon looks like <div>☰</div>, your code will look like this:
js Copy code
//Change hamburger icon to "X"
function iconCross(){
hamburger.innerHTML = "✕";
hamburger.style.right = "-10px";
}
//Change "X" icon back to hamburger
function iconHamburger(){
hamburger.innerHTML = "☰";
hamburger.style.right = "-25px";
}

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. AI bots are able to learn from conversations with users and expand their knowledge this way.
SheCodes Athena will help you with technical questions about your code using artificial intelligence to find the answer. Imagine a super powerful human who has memorized everything on the internet and can access that knowledge in a matter of seconds. π€―
SheCodes Athena can answer most coding-related questions, even complicated ones! It can even find bugs in your code and tell you how to fix them in just a few seconds. Impressive, right?
Just remember we're still in testing mode so the AI may return strange or incorrect replies. Feel free to message us if this happens!
SheCodes Athena can only reply to coding-related technical questions. The same type of questions you would ask in the channels on Slack.
For questions that are not coding-related, write us here π
You should treat Athena like a SheCodes team member, so always be polite! π Ask your questions as detailed as possible, just like you would do on Slack.
Here are some examples:
- Prettier isn't working on my VS Code. How do I fix this?
- How do I make bullet points with different colors using the list element?
- My code in Codesandbox is having some issues. Can you please tell me what the issue is? [Include the link to your Codesandbox]
For now, SheCodes Athena is limited to 5 questions per day for each student.
In that case, you can either ask SheCodes Athena a follow-up question, or you can post on the designated weekly channel on Slack!
Our technical assistants are still available on Slack and are always happy to help! ππͺ
Remember, questions are limited to 1000 characters.
- If you're working with an HTML file: Post a snippet of your code related to the issue you're having (just copy the code and paste it into the question box).
- If you're working with Codesandbox: Good news, you can just post the link to your Codesandbox and the AI Assistant will be able to view your code.
- If you have a longer question that would require an entire HTML file or more than 1000 characters, post it in the designated weekly channels on Slack! π
Athena was the Greek goddess of wisdom, among other elements. She received her name from the city of Athens, which she is known for protecting.
Much like the goddess Athena, SheCodes Athena is also incredibly wise and can solve complicated coding puzzles in a matter of seconds! π
Not likely. AI can automate tasks and make developers' jobs more efficient but it can't fully replace the human ability to deal with complex software. And AI will still require human developers to supervise and improve it further.
So developers may see their tasks change but they won't be replaced by AI. π©βπ»π€π»
