How can I make a tab change colors upon selection and fill in with a CMS color in Webflow?
To make a tab change colors upon selection and fill in with a CMS color in Webflow, you can follow these steps:
Create a CMS collection and add a color field: First, create a CMS collection in Webflow and add a color field to it. This color field will store the colors you want to use for the tabs.
Design the tab structure: Design the tab structure using either the built-in tabs component or custom HTML and CSS.
Set up the dynamic data binding: Connect the tab structure to the CMS collection by adding dynamic data binding. Choose the color field from the CMS collection as the source of data for the tab colors.
Style the tabs: Apply the initial styling to the tabs using CSS, such as setting the background color, font size, and text color.
Add an interaction for tab selection: Create an interaction that triggers when a tab is selected. Set the interaction to change the tab's background color to the selected color.
Bind the color field to the tab background: Using the dynamic data binding feature in Webflow, bind the color field from the CMS collection to the tab background color. This will fill in the tab with the selected CMS color.
Preview and test: Preview the website and test the tabs. Make sure they change color when selected and fill in with the CMS color.
By following these steps, you can create tabs that change colors upon selection and fill in with CMS colors in Webflow. This allows you to easily manage and update the colors through the CMS without needing to modify the website's code.
