mobile menu toggle button doesnt close

Question

Having a few issues with my javascript code to toggle the opening and closing of a mobile menu. The below code works for opening the menu = style.height: 200px, but once the menu is open, clicking on the button doesn't close the menu bar (style.height: 0) as expected.

Anyone have some pointers as too where i'm going wrong with my code?

 document.getElementById("hamburger").addEventListener("click", toggleNav); function toggleNav(){ navSize = document.getElementById("mobilemenu").style.height; if (navSize == 200) { return close(); } return open(); } function open() { document.getElementById("mobilemenu").style.height = "200px"; } function close() { document.getElementById("mobilemenu").style.height = "0"; }

 <div class="menubutton"> <button id="hamburger" class="hamburger hamburger--collapse" type="button" onclick="toggleNav()"> <span class="hamburger-box"> <span class="hamburger-inner"></span> </span> </button> </div>

Answer 1

You're testing for the wrong value in toggleNav()

Use if (navSize == "200px")

Answer 2

this is the faulty code:

    if (navSize == 200) {
      return close();
    }
    return open();

navSize will be something like "200px" , not 200
Since the if statement is always false, it only runs open()

Answer 3

you can simply do that using classList.toggle

 document.getElementById("hamburger").addEventListener("click", function (e) { e.preventDefault(); document.getElementById("mobilemenu").classList.toggle('show'); });

 .menubutton { position: fixed; top:10px; left:10px; z-index: 999; } #mobilemenu { position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; bottom: 0; width: 200px; transform: translateX(-100%); border-right: 1px solid #ccc; background-color: #eee; transition: transform.3s ease; } #mobilemenu.show { transform: translateX(0); }

 <div class="menubutton"> <button id="hamburger" class="hamburger hamburger--collapse" type="button"> <span class="hamburger-box"> <span class="hamburger-inner">Click</span> </span> </button> </div> <div id="mobilemenu"></div>
