Some tests have shown that the \"hamburger\" button for collapsable menus on mobile devices are mysteries to users and I would like to add the word \"Menu\" next to my Bootstrap
HTML
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
<span class="button-label">Menu</span>
<div class="button-bars">
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</div>
</button>
CSS
.navbar-toggle .button-label {
display: inline-block;
float: left;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 14px;
padding-right: 10px;
}
.button-bars {
display: inline-block;
float: left;
}
I guess it would be the best to use fontawesome.
simply include the references to fontawesome (see http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/get-started/) and then use the bars icon (http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icon/bars/)
So your code would look sth. like that:
<head>
[...]
<link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.1.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
[...]
</head>
<body>
[...]
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
<!-- Represents navbar collapsed menu on smaller screens -->
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<i class="fa fa-bars" aria-hidden="true"></i> Menu
</button>
If the Bars icon should be bigger, simply add fa-lg
or any other class which can be found at http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/examples/ to the icon
Another just css solution:
.navbar-toggle:before {
content:"Menu";
left:-50px;
top:4px;
position:absolute;
width:50px;
}
I had the same problem, but didn't feel like adding fontawesome.
Here is my solution (HTML and LESS):
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
<span class="button-label">Meny</span>
<div class="button-hamburger">
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</div>
</button>
LESS:
button {
.button-label {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
font-weight: 700;
padding-right: 3px;
}
.button-hamburger {
display: table-cell;
padding: 8px;
border: 1px solid #333;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
-webkit-border-radius: 3px;
border-radius: 3px;
.icon-bar {
background: #333;
}
}
}
.navbar-toggle {
border: none;
padding: 0;
}
WARNING: I'v only tested this in lastest Chrome and IE 11. I do not have anything else set up atm.
