HTML-CSS: Navigation list item hover and focus effect
HTML-CSS : Exercise-6 with Solution
Using HTML, CSS create a custom hover and focus effect for navigation items, using CSS transformations.
- Use the :before pseudo-element at the list item anchor to create a hover effect. Hide it using transform: scale(0).
- Use the :hover and :focus pseudo-class selectors to transition the pseudo-element to transform: scale(1) and show its colored background.
- Prevent the pseudo-element from covering the anchor element by using z-index.
