How can I achieve an active state for the main dropdown text link when one of its menu link pages is being used in Webflow?

To achieve an active state for the main dropdown text link when one of its menu link pages is being used in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

1. Select the main dropdown text link element in the Webflow Designer.
2. In the Settings panel on the right, click on the "Element States" tab.
3. In the "Add Class" section, click on the "+" button.
4. Enter a class name for the active state, such as "active" or "current".
5. Click "Add Class" to create the new class.
6. With the newly added class selected, go to the "Element Properties" section in the Settings panel.
7. Adjust the styles for the active state by changing the color, background, font weight, or any other CSS properties as desired.

Additionally, to dynamically add the active state class to the main dropdown text link when one of its menu link pages is being used, you can use custom code. Webflow provides the ability to add custom code in the Head or Footer section of your project.

1. Go to the Project Settings in the Webflow Designer.
2. In the Custom Code tab, locate the Head or Footer section.
3. Add the following JavaScript code to detect the active menu link page and add the active class to the main dropdown text link:

<script>  $(document).ready(function() {    // Get the current page URL    var currentPage = window.location.href;    // Loop through each menu link and compare its href with the current page URL    $('.menu-link').each(function() {      if (currentPage.indexOf($(this).attr('href')) > -1) {        $(this).closest('.dropdown-link').addClass('active');      }    });  });</script>

Make sure to replace .menu-link with the actual class or selector for your menu links element, and .dropdown-link with the class or selector for your main dropdown text link element.

This code will add the "active" class to the main dropdown text link if one of its menu link pages is being used. You can style the active state by combining this class with the CSS styles mentioned earlier.

These steps will help you achieve an active state for the main dropdown text link when one of its menu link pages is being used in Webflow.
