How can I achieve a default open dropdown that closes when the user clicks on another dropdown in Webflow without using code?
To achieve a default open dropdown that automatically closes when the user clicks on another dropdown in Webflow without using code, you can take advantage of Webflow's interactions and elements settings. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Create your dropdown elements: Start by adding multiple dropdown elements to your page. You can do this by dragging and dropping the dropdown component from the Add panel on the left-hand side of the Webflow Designer.
Set the initial state for each dropdown: Select each dropdown element and open the element settings panel on the right-hand side of the Designer. Under the initial state dropdown, select "Hidden". This will ensure that all dropdowns are initially closed.
Add interactions: With each dropdown element still selected, click on "Add New Interaction" in the element settings panel. This will open the interactions menu.
Configure interactions for the first dropdown: In the interactions menu, select "While Clicked" in the trigger section. Then, click on "Affect different element" and choose the dropdown element that you want to open when this dropdown is clicked.
Configure interactions for the second dropdown: Repeat the process for the second dropdown, but this time, choose the first dropdown element as the target when this dropdown is clicked.
Repeat the process for additional dropdowns: If you have more than two dropdowns, repeat steps 3-5 for each additional dropdown, making sure to select the appropriate target dropdown for each interaction.
Test the interactions: Preview your page to see if the default open/close behavior is working correctly. When you click on a dropdown, it should open, and when you click on another dropdown, the previously opened dropdown should close automatically.
By following these steps, you can achieve a default open dropdown that closes when the user clicks on another dropdown in Webflow without writing any code.
