To make both the navigation bar and tab menu sticky on top in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a new section on your page:
  • Drag and drop a "Section" element from the Elements panel onto the canvas.
  • Give the section a class name that you can easily reference later.
  1. Design your navigation bar:
  • Inside the section you just created, add a "Div" element by dragging and dropping it into the section.
  • Design your navigation bar within this div element, adding any necessary components such as a logo, menu items, and styling.
  • Give the div element a class name that you can easily reference later.
  1. Make the navigation bar sticky:
  • With the div element selected, go to the Styles panel on the right-hand side of the screen.
  • Click on the "Position" drop-down menu and select "Sticky".
  • Set the "Top" property to 0, which will make the navigation bar stick to the top of the section.
  1. Create a tab menu:
  • Inside the section, add another "Div" element to contain your tab menu.
  • Design your tab menu by adding any necessary components such as menu items and styling.
  • Give the div element a class name that you can easily reference later.
  1. Make the tab menu sticky:
  • With the div element selected, go to the Styles panel.
  • Click on the "Position" drop-down menu and select "Sticky".
  • Set the "Top" property to the height of your navigation bar, plus any additional spacing you want.
  1. Set up the interaction:
  • With the section selected, go to the Interactions panel in the right-hand side menu.
  • Create a new scroll interaction.
  • Set the trigger to "While page is scrolling".
  • Set the action to "Scroll into view".
  • Choose the tab menu element as the element to scroll into view.
  1. Apply the interaction to the section:
  • With the section still selected, go to the Settings panel in the right-hand side menu.
  • Under the "Scroll" section, choose "Enable sticky top" and select the navigation bar element.
  1. Adjust the Z-index:
  • If necessary, adjust the z-index property of the navigation bar and tab menu so that they appear above other elements on the page.

That's it! Your navigation bar and tab menu will now be sticky on top in Webflow. Remember to preview and test your design to ensure it is functioning as expected.
