To make the "hamburger menu close" interaction activate when a user clicks anywhere outside the navbar in Webflow, you can follow these steps:
- Select the navbar element that contains the hamburger menu.
- Go to the Interactions panel on the right sidebar. If you don't see it, you can show it by going to the top right corner and clicking on the "Interactions" icon (it looks like a magic wand).
- Click on the "Add new trigger" button. Choose the trigger type "Mouse Click".
- In the trigger settings, choose the option "Element is clicked". Then, select the entire body or a specific container that wraps the entire page's content. This ensures that the interaction is activated when clicking anywhere outside the navbar.
- Click on the "Add new action" button. Choose the action type "Close/Show" and then "Close Menu".
- Customize the close animation and duration if desired.
- Click "Save" to apply the interaction.
- Test the interaction by previewing your website and clicking outside the navbar. The hamburger menu should close when clicking anywhere outside the navbar.
