To make the second navigation bar in Webflow disappear when scrolling back to the top of the page, you can use Webflow’s interactions and scroll trigger feature. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this effect:

  1. Create the second navigation bar:

  1. Set the initial visibility of the second navigation bar:
  • Select the section containing the second navigation bar.
  • In the right-hand sidebar, go to the "Display" section and set the initial visibility of the section to "None". This will hide the section and the second navigation bar by default.
  1. Create the scroll trigger:
  • Select the section where you want the second navigation bar to appear. This could be the section at the top of the page or any other section that triggers the appearance of the navigation bar.
  • Go to the "Interactions" panel by clicking on the lightning bolt icon in the top-right corner of the Webflow designer.
  • Click on the "+" button to create a new interaction.
  • Choose an appropriate trigger for your effect. In this case, select the "Scroll" trigger.
  1. Create the interaction:
  • With the scroll trigger selected, click on the "+" button to add a new interaction step.
  • Choose the "Affect different element" option.
  • Select the section containing the second navigation bar as the target element.
  • Set the action to "Show" and adjust any other desired settings.
  1. Reversing the interaction:
  • Click on the "+" button under the first interaction step to add a new step.
  • Choose the "Affect different element" option again.
  • Select the section containing the second navigation bar as the target element.
  • Set the action to "Hide".
  1. Set the trigger conditions:
  • Under the first step, click on the "Limit affected elements" toggle to expand the options.
  • Check the box for "Limit to sibling elements" and select the section where the second navigation bar is located as the sibling.
  • Adjust any other desired settings, such as the amount of scrolling needed to trigger the effect.
  1. Preview and refine:
  • Use the preview mode in Webflow to test the effect and make any necessary adjustments to the visibility of the second navigation bar.
  • Repeat this process for any other sections where you want the second navigation bar to appear and disappear.
