This is a responsive designed menu. Click the list icon, and when your display screen is large enough to fit all menu items horizontally, the menu will appear horizontally (Figure 1). When your display screen cannot hold all menu items horizontally, the menu appears vertically (Figure 2). And it is displayed in the form of animation. The effect is quite good.

The source code to implement this function is posted below. This is a menu implemented purely with css3
html code:
<div class="container"> <!--[if lte IE 8]><style> .iconicmenu > label{ border-width: 7px; background: #eee; } .iconicmenu:hover ul{ left: 8px; /* show menu onmouseover in IE8 and below */ }</style><![endif]--> <div class="iconicmenu"> <input type="checkbox" id="togglebox" /> <ul> <li><a targe="_blank" href="http://www.w2bc.com/Shili/css3%E8%8F%9C%E5%8D%95">Home</a></li> <li><a targe="_blank" href="http://www.w2bc.com/Shili/css3%E8%8F%9C%E5%8D%95">DHTML</a></li> <li><a targe="_blank" href="http://www.w2bc.com/Shili/css3%E8%8F%9C%E5%8D%95">CSS Library</a></li> <li><a targe="_blank" href="http://www.w2bc.com/Shili/css3%E8%8F%9C%E5%8D%95">CSS Gallery</a></li> <li><a targe="_blank" href="http://www.w2bc.com/Shili/css3%E8%8F%9C%E5%8D%95">JavaScript</a></li> <li> <label for="togglebox"> </label> </li> </ul> <label class="toggler" for="togglebox"> Menu</label> </div> </div>
A hack compatible with ie8 has been added here.
