There are 3 different user cases where this snippet would be useful: 1) fixed navigation, 2) add content button and 3) edit content button. The HTML structure is pretty basic: a div is used to wrap an unordered list (containing the navigation items) and an trigger (for the menu icon). An additional span element is used to create the stretchy background.
