You will be creating a button menu that has a hover state and also allows you to select a button when you click on it. The final project can be seen in this Codepen.
Step 1
Setup a project on your local computer and then open it in your code editor. In the root folder create files for index.html styles.css and index.js
Step 2
Copy and paste the code into their corresponding files
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<title>Button Menu</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css" />
</head>
<body>
<main>
<div class="menu">
<button class="btn-menu selected">One</button>
<button class="btn-menu">Two</button>
<button class="btn-menu">Three</button>
<button class="btn-menu">Four</button>
<button class="btn-menu">Five</button>
</div>
</main>
<script src="index.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
styles.css
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Asap+Condensed:wght@400;700&display=swap');
:root {
--main-bg: #EEEEEE;
--menu-bg: #17C0EB;

}
* {

padding: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
html {
font-size: 62.5%;
}
body {
font-size: 1.6rem;
font-family: 'Asap Condensed', sans-serif;
background: var(--main-bg);
}
main {
margin: 5rem auto;
}
.menu {
margin: 0 auto;
display: flex;
flex-flow: column wrap;
width: 80rem;
max-width: 100%;
border-radius: 2rem;
background: var(--menu-bg);
}
.btn-menu {
position: relative;
cursor: pointer;
background: var(--menu-bg);
border: none;
padding: 2rem;
color: var(--menu-font-color);
font-weight: 700;
border-top: 0.1rem solid var(--menu-border);
border-bottom: 0.1rem solid var(--menu-border);
transition: background 1s;
}
.btn-menu:hover {
background: var(--menu-bg-hover);
}
.btn-menu:focus {
outline: none;
box-shadow: none;
}
.selected {
background: var(--menu-bg-selected);
}
.selected::before {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
content: "";
background: var(--menu-bg-selected-chevron);
height: 5.6rem;
width: 0.5rem;
}
index.js
const btnMenu = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.btn-menu'));
btnMenu.forEach((btns) => {
btns.addEventListener('click', () => {
btnMenu.forEach((btns) => {
btns.classList.remove('selected');
});
btns.classList.add('selected');
});
});
Step 3
Open the index.html file in a web browser or if you are using Visual Studio Code you can use the Live Server extension to make it run on a server.

Everyone has different tastes, and one of the best parts of visiting a buffet is that it caters to all. Grandma can enjoy her classic comfort food, Dad can pile up on steak and ribs, the kids can fill their plates with fries and mac and cheese, and Mom can indulge in fresh fruits and soups on codenewbie — all under one roof. It’s rare to find such inclusiveness at traditional restaurants. This is why buffet restaurants are perfect for groups and families with mixed preferences.

Dairy Queen does have milkshakes, and they’re honestly some of the creamiest I’ve tried at a fast-food spot. Whether it's classic chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry, each shake is thick, flavorful, and made with their signature soft serve perfect for when you're craving something sweet and smooth.
