Hello everyone. I'm following the CSS Responsive Navigation Menu post from Treehouse's Blog:
http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/create-an-absolute-basic-mobile-css-responsive-navigation-menu
and was wondering how to make the menu display by clicking instead of :hover.
thank you,

I do know that you can create a hack by using a hidden checkbox and the :checked selector. but as far as click events go, that is better used for javascript.

Each language you use to create web pages serves a specific purpose.
