Description:

A ring navigation concept built with JavaScript and CSS that all the menu items are absolutely positioned in the circles when toggled.

How to use it:

Code the ring navigation as this:

<nav class="top-right">
  <a class="disc l1">
    <div>Menu 1</div>
  </a>
  <a class="disc l2">
    <div>Menu 2</div>
  </a>
  <a class="disc l3">
    <div>Menu 3</div>
  </a>
  <a class="disc l4">
    <div>Menu 4</div>
  </a>
  <a class="disc l5 toggle">
    Toggle Link
  </a>
</nav>

Active the ring navigation by toggling the CSS classes with a little bit of JavaScript:

toggle = document.querySelectorAll(".toggle")[0];
nav = document.querySelectorAll("nav")[0];
toggle_open_text = 'Menu';
toggle_close_text = 'Close';
toggle.addEventListener('click', function() {
	nav.classList.toggle('open');
	
  if (nav.classList.contains('open')) {
    toggle.innerHTML = toggle_close_text;
  } else {
    toggle.innerHTML = toggle_open_text;
  }
}, false);
