Responsive Expanding Column Layout with jQuery and CSS3

An Html5/CSS3/jQuery powered responsive column layout that will expand to a fullscreen modal-style content panel once you clicked on a child item.

How to use it:

1. Build the Html structure for the column layout.

<section class="strips">
  <article class="strips__strip">
    <div class="strip__content">
      <h1 class="strip__title" data-name="column__1">Column 1</h1>
      <div class="strip__inner-text">
        <h2>Section 1</h2>
        <p>Content 1</p>
      </div>
    </div>
  </article>
  <article class="strips__strip">
    <div class="strip__content">
      <h1 class="strip__title" data-name="column__2">Column 2</h1>
      <div class="strip__inner-text">
        <h2>Section 2</h2>
        <p>Content 2</p>
      </div>
    </div>
  </article>
  <article class="strips__strip">
    <div class="strip__content">
      <h1 class="strip__title" data-name="column__3">Column 3</h1>
      <div class="strip__inner-text">
        <h2>Section 3</h2>
        <p>Content 3</p>
      </div>
    </div>
  </article>
  <article class="strips__strip">
    <div class="strip__content">
      <h1 class="strip__title" data-name="column__4">Column 4</h1>
      <div class="strip__inner-text">
        <h2>Section 4</h2>
        <p>Content 4</p>
      </div>
    </div>
  </article>
  <article class="strips__strip">
    <div class="strip__content">
      <h1 class="strip__title" data-name="column__5">Column 5</h1>
      <div class="strip__inner-text">
        <h2>Section 5</h2>
        <p>Content 5</p>
      </div>
    </div>
  </article>
  <i class="fa fa-close strip__close"></i> 
</section>

2. Include the Font Awesome for the close icon (OPtional).

<link href="http://netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.2.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

3. The primary CSS/CSS3 styles.

4. The CSS media queries for smaller screen devices.

@media screen and (max-width: 760px) {

.strips__strip { min-height: 20vh; }

.strips__strip:nth-child(1) {
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  width: 100%;
}

.strips__strip:nth-child(2) {
  top: 20vh;
  left: 0;
  width: 100%;
}

.strips__strip:nth-child(3) {
  top: 40vh;
  left: 0;
  width: 100%;
}

.strips__strip:nth-child(4) {
  top: 60vh;
  left: 0;
  width: 100%;
}

.strips__strip:nth-child(5) {
  top: 80vh;
  left: 0;
  width: 100%;
}
}


@media screen and (max-width: 760px) {

.strips__strip--expanded { min-height: 100vh; }
}

.strips__strip--expanded .strip__content:hover:before {
  -webkit-transform: skew(-30deg) scale(1) translate(0, 0);
  -ms-transform: skew(-30deg) scale(1) translate(0, 0);
  transform: skew(-30deg) scale(1) translate(0, 0);
  opacity: 0.05;
}

@media screen and (max-width: 760px) {

.strip__title { font-size: 28px; }

}

5. Create the strip animations.

@-webkit-keyframes 
strip1 {  0% {
 -webkit-transform: translate3d(-100%, 0, 0);
 transform: translate3d(-100%, 0, 0);
}
 100% {
 -webkit-transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
 transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
}
}

@keyframes 
strip1 {  0% {
 -webkit-transform: translate3d(-100%, 0, 0);
 transform: translate3d(-100%, 0, 0);
}
 100% {
 -webkit-transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
 transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
}
}

@-webkit-keyframes 
strip2 {  0% {
 -webkit-transform: translate3d(0, 100%, 0);
 transform: translate3d(0, 100%, 0);
}
 100% {
 -webkit-transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
 transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
}
}

@keyframes 
strip2 {  0% {
 -webkit-transform: translate3d(0, 100%, 0);
 transform: translate3d(0, 100%, 0);
}
 100% {
 -webkit-transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
 transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
}
}

@-webkit-keyframes 
strip3 {  0% {
 -webkit-transform: translate3d(0, -100%, 0);
 transform: translate3d(0, -100%, 0);
}
 100% {
 -webkit-transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
 transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
}
}

@keyframes 
strip3 {  0% {
 -webkit-transform: translate3d(0, -100%, 0);
 transform: translate3d(0, -100%, 0);
}
 100% {
 -webkit-transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
 transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
}
}

@-webkit-keyframes 
strip4 {  0% {
 -webkit-transform: translate3d(0, 100%, 0);
 transform: translate3d(0, 100%, 0);
}
 100% {
 -webkit-transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
 transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
}
}

@keyframes 
strip4 {  0% {
 -webkit-transform: translate3d(0, 100%, 0);
 transform: translate3d(0, 100%, 0);
}
 100% {
 -webkit-transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
 transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
}
}

@-webkit-keyframes 
strip5 {  0% {
 -webkit-transform: translate3d(100%, 0, 0);
 transform: translate3d(100%, 0, 0);
}
 100% {
 -webkit-transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
 transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
}
}

@keyframes 
strip5 {  0% {
 -webkit-transform: translate3d(100%, 0, 0);
 transform: translate3d(100%, 0, 0);
}
 100% {
 -webkit-transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
 transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
}
}

6. Load the latest version of jQuery library and insert the following JavaScript snippet before the closing body tag.

var Expand = (function() {
  var tile = $('.strips__strip');
  var tileLink = $('.strips__strip > .strip__content');
  var tileText = tileLink.find('.strip__inner-text');
  var stripClose = $('.strip__close');
  
  var expanded  = false;

  var open = function() {
      
    var tile = $(this).parent();

      if (!expanded) {
        tile.addClass('strips__strip--expanded');
        // add delay to inner text
        tileText.css('transition', 'all .6s 1s cubic-bezier(0.23, 1, 0.32, 1)');
        stripClose.addClass('strip__close--show');
        stripClose.css('transition', 'all .6s 1s cubic-bezier(0.23, 1, 0.32, 1)');
        expanded = true;
      } 
    };
  
  var close = function() {
    if (expanded) {
      tile.removeClass('strips__strip--expanded');
      // remove delay from inner text
      tileText.css('transition', 'all 0.15s 0 cubic-bezier(0.23, 1, 0.32, 1)');
      stripClose.removeClass('strip__close--show');
      stripClose.css('transition', 'all 0.2s 0s cubic-bezier(0.23, 1, 0.32, 1)')
      expanded = false;
    }
  }

    var bindActions = function() {
      tileLink.on('click', open);
      stripClose.on('click', close);
    };

    var init = function() {
      bindActions();
    };

    return {
      init: init
    };

  }());

Expand.init();
