  <h1>Fork This Nav Challenge</h1>
  <p>Click the toggle to open the menu and see the magic. This experiment relies on only CSS to style, animate and position elements.</p>
  <p>The technique used to select siblings based on the element being hovered extends from the work done by <a href="https://codepen.io/giana">Giana</a> in <a href="https://codepen.io/giana/pen/dWJzMK/">this pen</a>.</p>
  <p>Created for the <a href="https://codepen.io/challenges/2019/august/">Navigation with Sub-Navigation</a> Fork This CodePen Challenge in August 2019. The code within has not been browser tested. This was made to experience a quick thrill with the power of CSS.<p>
