CSS Vertical Navigation Bar

To create a vertical navigation bar using CSS, we can use the following steps:

1. Create an HTML unordered list (<ul>) to hold the navigation links.
2. Apply a class or ID to the <ul> element to target it in CSS.
3. Set the display property of the <ul> element to inline-block to make it a block-level element that can have a width and height.
4. Set the list-style-type property to none to remove the bullet points.
5. Set the padding property to create some space between the list items and the edges of the <ul> element.
6. Apply a background color and font styles to the list items (<li> elements).
7. Set the width property of the <li> elements to make them display vertically.
8. Add styles to the a tags inside the list items to control their appearance.

Here’s an example CSS code for a basic vertical navigation bar:

ul {
  display: inline-block;
  list-style-type: none;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  background-color: #f1f1f1;
  width: 200px;
}

li a {
  display: block;
  color: #000;
  padding: 8px 16px;
  text-decoration: none;
}

li a:hover {
  background-color: #555;
  color: #fff;
}

And here’s an example HTML code for a basic vertical navigation bar:

<ul>
  <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Services</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
</ul>

This will create a vertical navigation bar with a light gray background color, black text, and white text on hover. You can customize the CSS code to change the colors, font styles, and other properties to match your desired design.
