Introduction
In a world where user experience plays a crucial role in every website's success, offering intuitive and responsive navigation to your visitors is essential. The Animated Horizontal Submenu is a fantastic tool in achieving this goal. A well-designed submenu can instantly elevate your website's overall credibility and appeal, making navigation a breeze for your audience. In this tutorial, we will delve into the world of Animated Horizontal Submenu and guide you step-by-step on how to integrate it into your next project.
What is an Animated Horizontal Submenu?
An Animated Horizontal Submenu is a stunning and responsive navigation component designed to make your website navigation more user-friendly and eye-catching. It's built to display your website's subcategories in a single horizontal line, with sliding animation effects when you click on each category. It's a fantastic way to present a lot of subcategories without overwhelming your audience with a lengthy dropdown or nested menu.
Installation and Configuration
To set up the Animated Horizontal Submenu, you'll need to:
- Add the required CSS and JS files to your project's directory. You can link these files from a stylesheet or add them directly within your HTML file.
- animated-horizontal-submenu.min.css
- animated-horizontal-submenu.js
- Create your HTML structure by wrapping all your submenu items within the
.submenucontainer with a parent element having an ID.- ``
Example:
<nav>
<!-- Parent element with an ID -->
<div class="submenu" id="submenu-example">
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Primary Menu Item 1 <i class="fa-solid fa-chevron-down"></i></a>
<!-- Submenu items -->
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Submenu Item 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Submenu Item 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Submenu Item 3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Primary Menu Item 2</a></li>
<!-- Add more menu items... -->
</ul>
</div>
</nav>In this example, we used an unordered list (ul) with list items (LI) as the submenu children. We also added navigation links within the list elements, using HTML anchor elements (a).
For each list item, provide an arrow icon (Font Awesome, in this instance) as a visual guide to the user that an animated dropdown will appear after clicking the item.
