How can I create a pop-up modal in Webflow that is only shown once per session and works in all browsers?
To create a pop-up modal in Webflow that is only shown once per session and works in all browsers, you can follow these steps:
Create a new modal element: In Webflow, you can add a modal element by dragging it from the Elements panel onto your canvas. Customize the design and content of the modal to fit your needs.
Set up interactions: Select the modal element and go to the Interactions panel. Create a new interaction for when the page finishes loading. In the Interaction settings, you can choose to show the modal with a specific animation, such as a fade-in effect.
Add a cookie: To make the modal only appear once per session, you need to set a cookie to remember whether the modal has been shown or not. In Webflow, you can use custom code to achieve this. Go to your Project Settings, navigate to the Custom Code tab, and click on the Head section. Add the following JavaScript code:
<script> if (!document.cookie.split('; ').find(row => row.startsWith('modalShown='))) { document.cookie = 'modalShown=true'; // Trigger the modal to show here }</script>This code checks if there is a cookie named 'modalShown'. If the cookie doesn't exist, it sets it to 'true' and triggers the modal to show. If the cookie exists, the modal won't be triggered.
Configure the cookie trigger: In the code snippet above, you'll notice the comment "// Trigger the modal to show here". Replace this comment with the appropriate JavaScript code to trigger the modal's show interaction. You can find this code in the Interactions panel by selecting the modal element and copying the 'Show' interaction.
Test in all browsers: It's essential to ensure that your pop-up modal works correctly in all major browsers. Therefore, test your modal in popular browsers like Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge to ensure compatibility and consistent behavior.
By following these steps, you can create a pop-up modal in Webflow that is only shown once per session and works across all browsers.
