CSS Only Off-canvas Menu with Shrinking Main Content

Preview:

Description:

Yet another pure CSS off-canvas menu concept that reveals an 0ff-screen navigation menu while shrinking the main content as you seen on the demo page.

How to use it:

Build the html markup for the off-canvas menu with a toggle button using checkbox & label tricks.

<div class="container">
  <input type="checkbox" id="new" style="display:none;">
  <h1>OffCanvas Menu</h1>
  <nav>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Blog</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Social</a></li>
    </ul>
  </nav>
  <main>
    <label class="toggleMenu" for="new">
      <span class="bar"></span> 
      <span class="bar"></span> 
      <span class="bar"></span> 
    </label>
    Main Content Goes Here
  </main>
</div>
