How can I add custom slider dots to show thumbnail images in Webflow without making the dots unclickable and without including them in the actual slides?

To add custom slider dots that show thumbnail images in Webflow without making the dots unclickable and without including them in the actual slides, you can follow these steps:

1. Add a new Slider element to your Webflow project.

2. Inside the Slider, add a Div element for each thumbnail dot you want to display.

3. Style each Div element as a circle or any shape you desire, using the Webflow Designer. You can adjust the size, color, and other properties to match your design.

4. Inside each Div element, add an Image element and set the source to the respective thumbnail image you want to display.

5. Position the Div elements as dots under the slider. You can use the absolute positioning feature or the Flexbox layout to align them properly.

6. Add an interaction to each dot Div element. Select a dot and go to the Interactions panel. Set the trigger to "Mouse Click" or "Mouse Hover," depending on your preference.

7. In the interaction panel, add a new "Display" action. Choose the slide you want to display when that dot is clicked or hovered over. Repeat this step for each dot you've created.

8. Preview and test the slider in your project to ensure the dots and interactions are working as intended.

By following these steps, you can add custom slider dots with thumbnail images in Webflow without the need to make the dots unclickable or include them in the actual slides.

Additional Tips:

• You can further customize the appearance of the dots by adding animations, hover effects, or any other interactions to enhance the user experience.

• If you want to display more than one thumbnail image in each dot, you can create a custom thumbnail strip using a combination of Div elements and Image elements nested inside each dot.

• To make the dots responsive, use the built-in responsive features in Webflow, such as relative sizing, Flexbox, or CSS Grid, depending on your layout requirements.

Example Code:

<div class="slider">  <!-- Slider Content --></div><div class="slider-dots">  <div class="dot">    <img src="thumbnail-1.jpg" alt="Thumbnail 1">  </div>  <div class="dot">    <img src="thumbnail-2.jpg" alt="Thumbnail 2">  </div>  <div class="dot">    <img src="thumbnail-3.jpg" alt="Thumbnail 3">  </div></div>

.slider-dots {  display: flex;  justify-content: center;}.dot {  width: 20px;  height: 20px;  border-radius: 50%;  margin: 0 5px;  cursor: pointer;}.dot img {  width: 100%;  height: 100%;  object-fit: cover;}
