3 CSS Hamburgers
A CSS hamburger is an icon with three horizontal lines, used to toggle a navigation menu, which is created and animated using only HTML and CSS. This collection focuses on the icon itself, particularly the animation that transforms it into a close icon or an X upon being clicked. This is achieved without JavaScript by using the checkbox hack, where a hidden checkbox input is toggled by a visible label that serves as the hamburger icon. The checked pseudo-class is then used to trigger CSS transforms and transitions on the icon's lines, typically rotating the top and bottom lines and hiding the middle one to form the X. This pure CSS approach is lightweight, performant, and provides clear visual feedback to the user. This collection showcases a variety of animated hamburger icons, demonstrating different creative transformations to enhance the user experience of your responsive navigation.
