Expand and collapse responsive menu

Question

What is the best way I can make this menu default collapse when at a mobile size and use a toggle to collapse and expand.

I would prefer this to be CSS only but am unsure how to do it.

This is the source I am working from. http://www.script-tutorials.com/demos/335/index.html

what do you mean by `default collapse when at a mobile size`? — jmore009, Jan 10 '15 at 15:59
You have to use js a bit not only pure CSS. but to do so u can add a class while click event triggers and remove it again on second click to hide or fadeOut() then add CSS styles to your new declared class. — Sdghasemi, Jan 10 '15 at 16:00
@jmore009 When it is displayed at the mobile resolution, I can add a menu burger icon to expand the menu and ensure when on load it is collapsed. — databot, Jan 10 '15 at 16:30
@Sdghasemi Is there no way this can be done entirely in CSS with display? In a similar way to how the navigation sub menu is toggled? — databot, Jan 10 '15 at 16:31
The only way is to use HTML tag which is recognizable by CSS on click with input:checked (take a look [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11166580/css3-transitions-is-there-an-on-click-option-without-using-jquery)). but it's a bit ugly and it's not recommended. js is more cross-browser. — Sdghasemi, Jan 10 '15 at 16:40

I've wrapped the navigation in a div. Added a button and am toggling the navigation on and off when at a mobile size. As well as hiding the burger button when at full width.

<div class="nav-bar">
  <div id="burger">
    <input type="button" data-name="show" value="Toggle" id="toggle">
  </div>
  <!--rest of navigation follows here-->
</div>


<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
        $("#burger").click(function () {
            if ($(this).data('name') == 'show') {
                $("#nav").animate({
                    height: '0px'
                }).hide()

                $(this).data('name', 'hide')
            } else {
                $("#nav").animate({
                    height: '100%'
                }).show()

                $(this).data('name', 'show')
            }
        });
    });
</script>
