Yes, you can prevent the page from reloading and jumping to the top when clicking the next arrow in a collection list with pagination applied on Webflow. By default, when you apply pagination to a Collection List in Webflow, clicking the next arrow will reload the page and take you to the top. However, with some custom code, you can override this behavior and achieve a smoother transition.

Here's how you can prevent the page from reloading and jumping to the top:

  1. Select the element that contains the next arrow in your Collection List.
  2. Navigate to the Settings panel on the right-hand side of the Webflow Designer.
  3. Under the "Attributes" section, click on the "+" button to add a new attribute.
  4. Set the attribute name as "onclick" (without quotes).
  5. In the value field, enter the following JavaScript code:
event.preventDefault();
  1. Click outside the attribute field to save the changes.

This JavaScript code prevents the default action of the click event, which is the page reload. By adding this code to the next arrow element, you prevent the page from reloading and jumping to the top when clicked.

It's important to note that this code only prevents the default action of the click event. If you have other custom interactions or scripts that depend on the page reload, you'll need to modify this code accordingly.

By following these steps, you can ensure a smoother browsing experience for your users when navigating through a collection list with pagination in Webflow.
