To access tabs from the address bar using Webflow, you need to use custom code. Here are the steps to do it:

  1. Add a Custom Code component: In Webflow, go to the page where you want to add the code. Drag and drop a Custom Code component onto the canvas or into a section.

  2. Insert the JavaScript code: Double-click on the Custom Code component and click on the "</>" icon in the toolbar. This will open the code editor. In the code editor, you can write and insert JavaScript code to access the tabs from the address bar.

  3. Write the JavaScript code: To access the tabs from the address bar, you can use the window.location.hash property. This property contains the hash portion of the URL, including the "#". You can use JavaScript to capture the hash value and perform actions based on it.

// Get the hash value from the URLvar hash = window.location.hash;// Perform actions based on the hash valueif (hash === "#tab1") {  // Code for the first tab} else if (hash === "#tab2") {  // Code for the second tab} else if (hash === "#tab3") {  // Code for the third tab}
  1. Save and publish: After adding the JavaScript code, click on the "Save" button in the code editor. Then, close the code editor and publish the changes to your live site.

Now, when you have URLs with hash values corresponding to different tabs (e.g., https://www.example.com/#tab1, https://www.example.com/#tab2, etc.), Webflow will detect the hash value and execute the respective code for that tab.

Please note that accessing tabs from the address bar using Webflow requires custom code and may require additional JavaScript knowledge. Make sure to test your code thoroughly to ensure it functions as intended.
