Yes, it is possible to create a Progress Bar that only works within a selected section and stops at the end of that section in Webflow. Here's how you can do it:
- Create a new section on your page where you want the progress bar to be contained.
- Inside the section, create a new div and give it a class name, such as "progress-bar-container".
- Style the "progress-bar-container" div according to your design preferences, such as setting the background color and height.
- Inside the "progress-bar-container" div, create another div and give it a class name, such as "progress-bar".
- Style the "progress-bar" div to represent the progress, such as setting the height and background color.
- Go to the interactions panel and create a new interaction for the "progress-bar" div.
- Set the trigger for the interaction to be "While scrolling in view" and select the section that contains the progress bar.
- In the interaction settings, set the initial appearance of the "progress-bar" div to be at 0% width.
- Add a new Scroll Animation action to the interaction.
- Set the Scroll Animation action to affect the "progress-bar" div, and set the timeline action to affect the width property.
- In the timeline action, create keyframes where the width starts at 0% and ends at 100%.
- Adjust the duration and easing options of the scroll animation to achieve the desired effect.
- Test the progress bar by previewing the site and scrolling within the selected section. The progress bar should start animating when the section comes into view and stop when the end of the section is reached.
This method allows you to create a progress bar that is contained within a specific section and stops at the end of that section. It provides a visual representation of the progress as the user scrolls through the section. This can be particularly useful for long sections or pages where you want to provide a sense of progress to the user.
