Fancy hover and focus effect at navigation items using transform CSS property.
```html
<nav>

<a href="#/">Home</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#/">About</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#/">Contact</a>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a href="#/">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#/">About</a></li>
<li><a href="#/">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
```
```css
nav ul {
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
overflow: hidden;

position: absolute;
content: "";
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
background-color: #f6c126;
z-index: -1;
transform: scale(0);
transition: transform 0.5s ease-in-out;
}
li a:hover::before {
transform: scale(1);
li a:hover::before, li a:focus::before {
transform: scale(1);
}
li a:focus::before {
transform: scale(1);
}
```
#### Explanation
1. Using pseudo-element `::before` at the list item anchor element to make the hover effect, and make it hidden by `transform: scale(0)`
2. Using pseudo-selector `:hover` , and `:focus` to make the transition effect from `transform: scale(0)` to `transform: scale(1)` to sgow the pseudo-element with its colored background.
3. Preventing the pseudo-element from covering the anchor element by using `z-index: -1`
- Use the `::before` pseudo-element at the list item anchor to create a hover effect, hide it using `transform: scale(0)`.
- Use the `:hover` and `:focus` pseudo-selectors to transition to `transform: scale(1)` and show the pseudo-element with its colored background.
- Prevent the pseudo-element from covering the anchor element by using `z-index: -1`.
