How can I force each panel to open at the top when a tab button is clicked in Webflow?

To force each panel to open at the top when a tab button is clicked in Webflow, you can use some custom code. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:
- Add a Tab component to your Webflow project and design the panels and tab buttons as desired.
- Give each panel a unique ID. You can do this by selecting each panel, opening the Element Settings panel on the right, and entering a unique ID in the ID field.
- Open the Settings panel for the Tab component and click on the Custom Code tab.
- In the Head Code section, add the following code:
<script> function scrollToTop(element) { const rect = element.getBoundingClientRect(); const scrollTop = window.pageYOffset || document.documentElement.scrollTop; const top = rect.top + scrollTop - 50; // Modify this value (- 50) to adjust the scroll position window.scrollTo({ top: top, behavior: 'smooth' // Adjust this to 'auto' if you want an instant scroll instead of a smooth scroll }); }</script>
- In the Body Code section, add the following code:
<script> const tabButtons = document.querySelectorAll('.w-tab-link'); const panels = document.querySelectorAll('.w-tab-pane'); tabButtons.forEach((button, index) => { button.addEventListener('click', () => { // Scroll to top of panel when the tab button is clicked scrollToTop(panels[index]); }); });</script>
- Save your changes and publish your site for the changes to take effect.
Now, when a tab button is clicked, the corresponding panel will scroll to the top of the page. You can adjust the scroll position by modifying the top: top
value in the scrollTo
function.
Note: Custom code may not be optimized for SEO by default. Make sure to check if the code complies with best practices and guidelines for SEO optimization.
