Hi there I want to reverse my sidemenu so that when I come to my page that the menu is already expanded instead of expanding it myself

css:

#menuToggle {
  display: block;
  position: relative;
  top: -10px;
  left: 10px;
  z-index: 1;
  -webkit-user-select: none;
  user-select: none;
}
#menuToggle a {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #7e7e7e;
  font-family: 'Microsoft Yahei';
  transition: color 0.3s ease;
}

#menuToggle a:hover {
  color: white;
}

#menuToggle input{
  display: block;
  width: 40px;
  height: 32px;
  position: absolute;
  top: -7px;
  left: 2px;
  cursor: pointer;
  opacity: 0;
  z-index: 2;
  -webkit-touch-callout: none;
}

#menuToggle span {
  display: block;
  width: 33px;
  height: 4px;
  margin-bottom: 5px;
  position: relative;
  background: #cdcdcd;
  border-radius: 3px;
  z-index: 1;
  transform-origin: 4px 0px;
  transition: transform 0.5s cubic-bezier(0.77, 0.2, 0.05, 1.0), background 0.5s cubic-bezier(0.77, 0.2, 0.05, 1.0), opacity 0.55s ease;
}

#menuToggle span:first-child {
  transform-origin: 0% 0%;
}

#menuToggle span:nth-last-child(2) {
  transform-origin: 0% 100%;
}

#menuToggle input:checked~span {
  opacity: 1;
  transform: rotate(45deg) translate(-2px, -1px);
  background: #FCFCFC;
}

#menuToggle input:checked~span:nth-last-child(3) {
  opacity: 0;
  transform: rotate(0deg) scale(0.2, 0.2);
}

#menuToggle input:checked~span:nth-last-child(2) {
  transform: rotate(-45deg) translate(0, -1px);
}

#menu{
  position: fixed;
  width: fit-content;
  background-color: #161618;
  margin: -100px 0 0 -50px;
  padding: 50px;
  box-shadow: 0 -2px 15px rgb(5, 5, 5);
  height: 1400px;
  padding-top: 125px;
  list-style-type: none;
  -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
  transform-origin: 0% 0%;
  transform: translate(-100%, 0);
  transition: transform 0.5s cubic-bezier(0.77, 0.2, 0.05, 1.0);
}
#menu li {
  padding: 10px 0;
  font-size: 22px;
}

#menuToggle input:checked~ul {
  transform: none;
}
.welcome-text {
  position: relative;
  color: #8AB4F8;
  font-size: 60px;
  top: 320px;
  left: 290px;
  text-align: center;
  font-weight: 700;
  font-family: 'Lato';
}
.welcome-text::before {
  position: absolute;
  content: "";
  display: block;
  width: 72%;
  height: 4px;
  margin-top: 66px;
  margin-left: 5px;
  background-color: #8AB4F8;
  transform: scaleX(0);
  transform-origin: left;
  transition: transform 0.3s ease;
}

html:

<nav role="navigation">
      <div id="menuToggle">
        <input type="checkbox" />

        <span></span>
        <span></span>
        <span></span>
        <ul id="menu">
          <a href="home.html">
            <li class="home">Home     </li>
          </a>
          <a href="#">
            <li>About</li>
          </a>
          <a href="index.html">
            <li>Info</li>
          </a>
          <a href="#">
            <li>Contact</li>
          </a>
            <a>
              <li style="color: white;">Qing</li>
            </a>

I don't know how serious your code is. If I were you, assuming I must deliver it in a hurry, I would simply emulate a click to expand the menu at the end of the page, as the last action after the page has been fully loaded. If there's a home-grown framework behind the scenes, please by all means use the designated location to place all your last actions. It's the same code you put in the onclick event for menu toggling. By the way, how dare you skip your JavaScript part of the code in the question?

I didn't realize you could do this in CSS: "#menuToggle input:checked". Nice! I've learned something today. However, isn't that ugly, I mean, a separate checkbox controlling a menu on or off? You can try Solution 2 then. That may work.

Since your menu is only using CSS, you simply need to have the checkbox checked when the page loads.

Instead of:

HTML

<input type="checkbox" />

use:

HTML

<input type="checkbox" checked />
