***Hello, guys in this <a href="https://blog.stackfindover.com/category/tutorials/" rel="dofollow">tutorial</a> we will create an animated share button using HTML CSS & jQuery***

###How do share buttons work?###

Instead of copying and pasting a link to an item, blog post, or product on the page, a viewer can simply click the button and, often, an auto-populated tweet of Facebook status pops up. These buttons seem like a great idea – after all, they make sharing your content easy Download Report

First, we need to create two files **index.html** and **style.css** then we need to do code for it.

###Animated Share Button Step:1###
**Add below code inside index.html**
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <title>Sticky Share Buttons</title>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="sticky_share_btn">
      <div class="fixed_share">
        <ul class="listing">
          <li class="facebook">
            <a href="#">
              <i class="fa fa-facebook-square"></i>
            </a>
          </li>
          <li class="twitter">
            <a href="#">
              <i class="fa fa-twitter"></i>
            </a>
          </li>
          <li class="pinterest">
            <a href="#">
              <i class="fa fa-pinterest"></i>
            </a>
          </li>
          <li class="linkedin">
            <a href="#">
              <i class="fa fa-linkedin-square"></i>
            </a>
          </li>
          <li class="whatsapp">
            <a href="#">
              <i class="fa fa-whatsapp"></i>
            </a>
          </li>
        </ul>
        <span class="share-toggle">
          <i class="fa fa-share-alt"></i>
        </span>
      </div>
    </div>

    <script type="text/javascript">
      jQuery(".sticky_share_btn").click(function(){
        jQuery(".listing").fadeToggle(600);
      });
    </script>
  </body>
</html>
```
###Animated Share Button Step:2###
Then we need to add code for **style.css** which code I provide in the below screen.

```css
* {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  outline: 0;
}
body {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
    height: 100vh;
    width: 100vw; 
    overflow: hidden;
}
.sticky_share_btn {
    position: fixed;
    left: 30px;
    bottom: 30px;
}
.share-toggle,
.fixed_share ul.listing > li {
    font-size: 20px;
    width: 40px;
    height: 40px;
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
    cursor: pointer;
    border: 2px solid;
    border-radius: 50%;
    transition: all 0.5s ease-in-out;
}
ul.listing {
    list-style: none;
    display: none;
}
.fixed_share ul.listing > li {
  margin-bottom: 10px; 
}
.fixed_share ul.listing > li > a {
    display: block;
    width: 100%;
    height: auto;
    text-align: center;
}
.share-toggle:hover,
.fixed_share ul.listing > li:hover {
  transform: scale(1.1) rotate(360deg);
}

.fixed_share .facebook, 
.fixed_share .facebook > a{
  color: #4267B2;
}
.fixed_share .twitter, 
.fixed_share .twitter > a{
  color: #00acee;
}
.fixed_share .pinterest, 
.fixed_share .pinterest > a{
  color: #E60023;
}
.fixed_share .linkedin, 
.fixed_share .linkedin > a{
  color: #0e76a8;
}
.fixed_share .whatsapp, 
.fixed_share .whatsapp > a{
  color: #25D366;
}
```
