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;
--menu-font-color: #FFFFFF;
--menu-border: #25d3ff;
--menu-bg-selected: #333333;
--menu-bg-hover: #52dcff;
--menu-bg-selected-chevron: #3cac1a;
}
* {
margin: 0;
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.

Hey CodeNewbie fam! I'm diving into this awesome tutorial about creating a button menu with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I love how it allows for hover states and click functionality!
While I’m working on it, I’m also curious about exploring other project ideas. Could anyone point me to a good resource or provide insights about the Red Rooster menu Australia? I’d love to see how it could inspire my button design! Thanks in advance!
