To display the value of the title attribute in a grabbed element using Webflow, you can use custom code and JavaScript. Follow these steps:

  1. Identify the element: First, you need to identify the element from which you want to grab the title attribute value. You can use HTML tags like div, span, img, or any other element that has a title attribute.

  2. Assign an ID: To make it easier to target the element, assign it a unique ID. To do this in Webflow, select the element and go to the Styles panel. Under the Elements section, you'll find the ID field. Give it a name, such as "myElement".

  3. Add custom code: In Webflow, go to the Page Settings menu and select the Custom Code tab. In the Head Code section, add the following script:

<script>  // Wait for the page to load  document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {    // Grab the element by its ID    var element = document.getElementById("myElement");    // Check if the element exists and has a title attribute    if (element && element.hasAttribute("title")) {      // Get the value of the title attribute      var title = element.getAttribute("title");      // Display the title value      console.log(title);    }  });</script>
  1. Update the script: Replace "myElement" in the script with the ID of the element you assigned in Step 2.

  2. Save and publish: Save your changes in Webflow and publish your website.

Now, when the page loads, the script will grab the specified element by its ID, check if it has a title attribute, and if so, display its value in the console. You can modify the script to display the title value on the page instead of the console if needed.

Note: Remember to use the correct ID for your element and update the script accordingly. Additionally, make sure to test your implementation to ensure it is working as expected.
