[SOLVED] navbar using a checkbox

navbar using a checkbox

trying to create a Nav-drawer that opens when a checkbox is checked, all great but the opening part is where am stuck at

HTML

<div class="leftside">
    <input type="checkbox" id="check" name="check">
    <label for="check" class="checkbtn">
        <i class="fas fa-bars icon navburger"></i>
    </label>
</div>
<div class="nav-items">
     ...
</div>

CSS

.nav-items{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100vh;
    position: fixed;
    overflow: hidden;
    left: -100%;
    display: flex;
    z-index: 10001;
    background-color: #fff;
    flex-direction: column;
    transition: all .5s;
}
#check{
    display: none;
}
#check:checked ~ .nav-items {
    left: 0;
}

I believe that its a problem in the last css code of #check but i cant figure out why.

Solution

#check:checked ~ ul{
    left: 0;
}

will not do a manipulating at

.nav-items{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100vh;
    position: fixed;
    overflow: hidden;
    left: -100%; <------------
    display: flex;
    z-index: 10001;
    background-color: #fff;
    flex-direction: column;

your ref. is on

#check

that's two different selectors. so you are doing a left: 0 only at #check, not at .nav-items

UPDATE: this is how i would do this with JS https://codesandbox.io/s/admiring-ritchie-01rxu?file=/index.html:0-1383
