How Do I Make Slide In On Click Of Div?

Hi I need something that will make the nav contents slide out from the left when the div class 'bt-menu' is pressed. It also needs to slide back in to the left when the div is clic

Solution 1:

the simplest way is:

$(".bt-menu").click(function(){  $("nav").slideToggle(); });

I edit the code you can check it work.

$(document).ready(function(){
  
$(".bt-menu").click(function(){  $("nav").slideToggle(); });

  });
