To add inline style, such as a background-image, to a <div> element in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the <div> element you want to add the inline style to. You can do this by clicking on the element in the Webflow Designer or selecting it from the element tree panel on the left.

  2. Once you have selected the element, go to the Styles panel on the right-hand side of the Webflow Designer.

  3. Under the "Background" section in the Styles panel, click on the "+" button next to "Image". This will open the image selector.

  4. In the image selector, you can either choose an image from your Webflow assets or upload a new image.

  5. After selecting the image, Webflow will automatically generate a class for the element with the background-image applied. You can also add your own custom class name if desired.

  6. Finally, to specify additional inline styles for the background such as positioning, size, or repeat behavior, click on the gear icon next to the image thumbnail in the Styles panel. This will open the background settings modal, where you can customize properties like position, size, and repeat.

By following these steps, you can easily add inline styles (background-image) to a <div> element in Webflow. This can help you customize the appearance and design of your website to match your brand or aesthetic preferences.
