How to use it:

1. Create the navigation header with a back link.

<div class="list-header-container">
  <a href="" class="back-link">&lt;</a>
  <h3>Navigation</h3>
</div>

2. Create a multi-level drill down menu using nested Html lists.

<div class="list-body-container">
  <ul id="list-0" class="list-0 active-list">
    <li class="list-0-item"> <a href="#list-1" class="list-link"><span class="list-link-label">Lorem ipsum.</span><span class="right-arrow">&gt;</span></a>
      <ul id="list-1" class="list hidden">
        <li class="list-item"> <a href="#list-1-1" class="list-link"><span class="list-link-label">Lorem ipsum.</span><span class="right-arrow">&gt;</span></a>
          <ul id="list-1-1" class="list hidden">

          </ul>
        </li>
      </ul>
    </li>
  </ul>
</div>

3. The whole markup structure should be something like this:

<div class="list-wrapper">
  <div class="list-container">
    <div class="list-header-container">
    
      <!-- Navigation Header -->
      
    </div>
    <div class="list-body-container">
      
      <!-- Navigation Body -->
      
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

4. Style the navigation header in the CSS.

.list-header-container {
  position: relative;
  background: none;
  background-color: #F7F7F9;
}

.list-header-container a.back-link {
  display: inline-block;
  position: absolute;
  padding: 30px 20px;
  vertical-align: middle;
  text-decoration: none;
}

.list-header-container a.back-link:hover { color: #2eb5ef; }

.list-header-container h3 {
  margin: 0;
  border: 0 none;
  padding: 30px 20px;
  text-align: center;
  font-weight: 400;
  color: #000000;
}

5. The core CSS/CSS3 styles for the sliding drill down menu.

.list-body-container {
  position: relative;
  left: -15%;
  overflow-x: hidden;
  overflow-y: auto;
  -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
  -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  height: 300px;
  width: 115%;
}

.list-body-container ul {
  -moz-transition: min-height 0 linear, -moz-transform 0.3s ease-out;
  -o-transition: min-height 0 linear, -o-transform 0.3s ease-out;
  -webkit-transition: min-height 0 linear, -webkit-transform 0.3s ease-out;
  transition: min-height 0 linear, transform 0.3s ease-out;
  -moz-transform: translateX(115%);
  -ms-transform: translateX(115%);
  -webkit-transform: translateX(115%);
  transform: translateX(115%);
  -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
  -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 32px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
  -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 32px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
  box-shadow: 0 0 32px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
  display: block;
  position: absolute;
  list-style: none;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  margin: 0;
  border: 0 none;
  padding: 0;
  width: 100%;
  min-height: 300px;
  background-color: #FFFFFF;
}

.list-body-container ul.hidden { display: none; }

.list-body-container ul.active-list {
  display: block;
  -moz-transform: translateX(13%);
  -ms-transform: translateX(13%);
  -webkit-transform: translateX(13%);
  transform: translateX(13%);
  min-height: 100%;
}

.list-body-container ul.active-list.parent-list {
  -moz-transform: translateX(0);
  -ms-transform: translateX(0);
  -webkit-transform: translateX(0);
  transform: translateX(0);
}

.list-body-container ul li {
  display: block;
  margin: 0 0 0 2rem;
  border-top: 1px solid #D2D2D2;
  padding: 0;
}

.list-body-container ul li:first-child { border-top: 0 none; }

.list-body-container ul li a {
  display: block;
  padding: 1.2rem 6rem 1.2rem 1rem;
  color: #000000;
  text-decoration: none;
  font-size: 1rem;
  font-weight: 300;
}

.list-body-container ul li a .list-label { float: left; }

.list-body-container ul li a .right-arrow { float: right; }

.list-body-container ul li a:hover,
.list-body-container ul li a:focus,
.list-body-container ul li a.active-link { color: #2eb5ef; }

6. Load the latest version of jQuery library at the end of the document.

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>

7. A little JavaScript to enable the sliding navigation.

if (!Array.prototype.last){
  Array.prototype.last = function(){
    return this[this.length - 1];
  };
};

(function ($) {
  $(function () {
    var $wrapper = $(".list-wrapper");
    var $back = $wrapper.find("a.back-link");
    var $lists = $wrapper.find(".list-body-container ul")
    var $links = $lists.find("a.list-link");
    
    var $listPath = [$lists.filter(".active-list").eq(0)];
    
    function onBackClick (e) {
      e.preventDefault();
      e.stopPropagation();
      
      if ($listPath.length < 2) {
        return false;
      }
      
      var $cl = $listPath.pop();
      
      $cl.removeClass("active-list");
      $listPath.last().removeClass("parent-list");
      $cl.siblings(".list-link").removeClass("active-link");
      
      window.setTimeout(function () {
        $cl.addClass("hidden");
      }, 310);
    };
    
    function onLinkClick (e) {
      e.preventDefault();
      e.stopPropagation();

      var $link = $(this);
      var $list = $($link.attr("href"));
      
      if (!$list.length) {
        return false;
      }
      
      $link.addClass("active-link");
      $list.removeClass("hidden");
      
      window.setTimeout(function () {      
        $list.addClass("active-list");
      }, 10);
      
      $listPath.last().addClass("parent-list");
      $listPath.push($list);
    };
    
    // click on back button
    $back.on("click", onBackClick);
    
    // click on list links
    $links.on("click", onLinkClick);
  });
})(jQuery);
