WDS60 - Navigate the Bars

In the last article, we learned about opacity property in CSS and I concluded the article with one example for you to solve. Hope you completed it...
Now in this article, we are going to learn to create navigation bar which we frequently see on any web pages nowadays. Although we will learn easy and better way to do this using Bootstrap letter, navigation bars will make your web pages better for sure. 
So let's begin...

What is Navigation Bars?

It's just 'list of links'. We will create a simple unordered list of links in HTML and will change that boring looking menu of lists into something beautiful. Let's create a simple menu just using HTML and apply a little bit of CSS. We have just used CSS to remove bullets, margin, and padding of elements of the list. This will also be our base HTML code to create navigation bars.

Vertical Navigation Bar

To make a vertical design bar, we have to style every <a> element with display property.
li a{
    display: block;
    width: 50px;
}
Here, display: block; is making blocks for each link so that entire block is clickable and next width: 50px; is giving customized width to each link. Instead of giving width to link elements, we can also give it to link item that is ul element. Still, our navigation bar is not looking good...
Let's change it more...
Two most important changes here:
  • Seet text-decoration property of link elements to none so that no underline will be present below links.
  • hover pseudo-class
That's all for today. In the next post, we will continue learning navigation bar. There is so much to learn about them. Till then #keepCoding.

WDS85 - Animate the CSS(Part 3)

In the last two articles, we learned about animations in CSS and various ways to customize them with the help of iterations and animation delays. Now in today's article, we are going to learn more about them so that to customize them even more. Let's begin... Reverse Directions and Alternate Cycles The animation-direction property in CSS decides whether we want to play animation forward, backward or in alternate cycles. Following values are possible: normal - This is the default. Animation plays as normal(forward). reverse - The animation plays in reverse direction that is backward. alternate - The animation first plays forward and then backward. alternate-reverse - The animation first plays backward and then forward. Speed Curve of Animation Just like we used various ways to customize transitions in CSS some articles before, same functions can be used to change the speed of the animation. The animation-timing-function property specifies the speed curve o

WDS83 - Animate the CSS

In the last two articles, we learned about CSS transitions and created some pretty cool elements with transitions and transformations. Now in today's class, we are going to learn animations in CSS which creates animations without the use of javascript or flash. CSS Animations A CSS animation lets us change an element's style from one to another. We can change as many properties as we want. To use this CSS animations, we have to first specify some keyframe rules which include how and which properties are we changing. The @keyframes Rule When we specify CSS styles inside the  @keyframes rule, the animations will gradually change from current style to new style at certain times. To get these working, we must bind animations to an element. Let's understand more by an example... @keyframes myAnimation { from { background-color : blue ;} to { background-color : red ;} } div { width : 100px ; height : 100px ; background-color : b
