<nav role="navigation">
<div id="menuToggle">
<!--
A fake / hidden checkbox is used as click reciever,
so you can use the :checked selector on it.
-->
<input type="checkbox" />
<!--
Some spans to act as a hamburger.
They are acting like a real hamburger,
not that McDonalds stuff.
-->
<span></span>
<span></span>
<span></span>
<!--
Too bad the menu has to be inside of the button
but hey, it's pure CSS magic.
-->
<ul id="menu">
<a href="#"><li>Home</li></a>
<a href="#"><li>About</li></a>
<a href="#"><li>Info</li></a>
<a href="#"><li>Contact</li></a>
<a href="https://erikterwan.com/" target="_blank"
><li>Show me more</li></a

</ul>
</div>
