Can someone help me find a tutorial or project in Webflow that demonstrates how to create an accordion menu that is functional and stays open on page load?
Certainly! Creating an accordion menu that is functional and stays open on page load is a common requirement for many web projects. In Webflow, you can achieve this by following these steps:
Create a new project: Start by creating a new project in Webflow or open an existing project where you want to add the accordion menu.
Design your accordion menu: Use Webflow's Designer to design your accordion menu layout. You can use sections, div blocks, or any other element that suits your design. Each accordion item will consist of a heading element (e.g., an H3 tag) and a content element (e.g., a div block) that will be hidden initially.
Set up interactions: Select the heading element of your accordion menu item and open the Interactions panel. Create a new interaction, and set the trigger to "Click" on the heading element.
Add a show/hide interaction: In the interaction settings, select the content element that you want to show/hide on click. Add a "Show" action to make the content visible when the heading is clicked.
Configure initial states: By default, Webflow will hide the content on page load. However, since you want the accordion menu to be open initially, you need to configure the "Initial appearance" settings. In the interaction settings, choose "Visible" for the content element.
Test and refine: Preview your project to see if the accordion menu functions as expected. You may need to tweak the interaction settings or styles to achieve the desired look and behavior.
By following these steps, you should be able to create an accordion menu in Webflow that stays open on page load. Remember to publish your project for the changes to take effect on your live site.
