How can I set the active tab to match the color of a specific item when a user clicks on a link to that item on a CMS page in Webflow?
To set the active tab to match the color of a specific item when a user clicks on a link to that item on a CMS page in Webflow, you can follow these steps:
Open your Webflow project and navigate to the page where you want to set the active tab.
Select the tab element or container that contains the tabs you want to style.
In the Styles panel on the right-hand side, scroll down to the "States" section.
Click on the "+" button next to the "Normal" state to add a new state.
Rename the new state to "Active" or any other name that is relevant to the effect you want to achieve.
Apply the desired styling to the active tab in the "Active" state. This can include changing the background color, font color, border color, or any other style property you prefer. You can use the options in the Styles panel to make these changes.
Once you are done with the styling, go back to the "Normal" state by clicking on it.
Select the link element or container that represents the tab item that should trigger the active state change.
In the Interactions panel, create a new interaction for the element.
Choose the appropriate trigger for the interaction. In this case, you want the active tab to be set when the user clicks on the link, so select the "Click" trigger.
In the action section of the interaction, select "Affect different element" from the menu and choose the tab element or container.
In the "Initial appearance" dropdown, select the "Active" state you created earlier.
Save your changes and preview the page to see the active tab styling in action.
By following these steps, you can customize the active tab styling to match the color of a specific item when a user clicks on a link to that item on a CMS page in Webflow. This will help enhance the user experience and provide visual feedback to the users.
