To implement the jQuery plugin "parallax.js" into Webflow, follow these steps:

  1. Create a new custom code section: In your Webflow project, open the website designer and navigate to the page where you want to implement the parallax effect. Click on "Add" and select "Custom Code" from the dropdown menu. Choose where you want to place the code section, whether it's in the <head> or before the </body> tag.

  2. Add the necessary CDN: Inside the custom code section, you'll need to include the jQuery library and the parallax.js plugin. To do this, copy and paste the following code into the custom code section:

<!-- Include the jQuery library --><script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js"></script><!-- Include the parallax.js plugin --><script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/parallax.js/1.5.0/parallax.min.js"></script>
  1. Initialize the parallax effect: After including the necessary CDN, you'll need to initialize the parallax effect on the desired element(s) in your Webflow project. To do this, you'll need to create a new script tag inside the custom code section. For example, if you want to apply the parallax effect to a section with the ID "parallax-section", you can use the following code:
<script>$(document).ready(function(){  // Initialize the parallax effect  $('#parallax-section').parallax();});</script>
  1. Apply the necessary styles: Lastly, you'll need to define the CSS styles for the elements you want to have parallax effect. You can do this by adding appropriate classes or using the Webflow Designer's visual editor.

That's it! You have successfully implemented the parallax.js plugin into your Webflow project.
