- [Narrator] Hi, this is Chris Converse…and in this episode we'll be adding an animation…to a mobile menu when it's opened and closed.…So if you'd like to follow along,…download the exercise files…and let's begin by opening the html file…in a text editor.…So once you have the html file open,…up in the head area you'll see a link to style.css.…We'll be opening this in a moment.…Inside of the body area we have a header.…We have an input checkbox…that shows up right here.…And this uses a similar technique that we explored…in an earlier episode.…
And then inside of the nav element…we have a div with all of our links.…And we also have the label for the mobile menu.…Now since the for attribute of the label…matches the id name of the checkbox,…if I come over here and click on the label…you'll see that the checkbox selects and un-selects.…And if we scroll down you'll just see…the content that's showing up here.…So to make this mobile menu work,…let's go back to the exercise files…and let's open up the style.css file in our text editor.…
