How can I create a sticky section in Webflow where the content fades in and out as I scroll and the next section replaces it?
To create a sticky section in Webflow where the content fades in and out as you scroll and the next section replaces it, follow these steps:
Create a new section: Start by adding a new section to your Webflow project. This section will be the sticky section that will have the fading content.
Set the section's position: Select the newly created section and set its position to "Relative" by accessing the "Position" dropdown in the styles panel.
Create a container within the section: Add a new Div Block inside the sticky section. This Div Block will act as a container for the fading content.
Set the container's position: Select the container Div Block and set its position to "Relative".
Add content to the container: Now, add the content you want to animate within the container Div Block. This can include text, images, or any other element that you want to fade in and out.
Set the container's position and opacity: With the container Div Block still selected, set its position to "Absolute". Then, adjust the opacity of the container to 0% in the styles panel.
Create an interaction: To create the fade-in and fade-out effect, you'll need to set up an interaction. Select the container Div Block, go to the interactions panel, and click on the "+" icon to add a new interaction.
Set the initial state: Within the interaction panel, set the initial state of the container Div Block to be at 0% opacity.
Set the scroll trigger: Scroll down to the "Scroll" trigger options in the interactions panel. Set the "While scrolling" trigger to be "While page scrolls".
Add animations: Add two animations to the container Div Block within the interaction panel. Use the first animation to fade the container in by setting it to fade in from 0% opacity to 100% opacity. Use the second animation to fade the container out by reversing the first animation, setting it to fade from 100% opacity back to 0% opacity.
Create the replacing section: Create another section below the sticky section, which will replace the sticky section as the user scrolls. This section can have any content you desire.
Adjust the replacing section's position: Set the position of the replacing section to "Relative" to ensure it flows naturally in the web layout.
With these steps, you should now have a sticky section in Webflow where the content fades in and out as you scroll, and the next section replaces it smoothly.
