How can I hide the empty select options in the dynamically populated dropdown on the Webflow page linked below?
To hide empty select options in a dynamically populated dropdown on a Webflow page, you can use some custom code and create a custom attribute on the dynamic option element. Here's how you can achieve this:
Open the Webflow Designer and navigate to the page where you have the dynamically populated dropdown.
Select the dropdown element and find the dynamic list that is populating it.
In the dynamic list settings, find the option element that represents each item in the list.
Add a custom attribute to the option element by clicking on the "+" icon next to the existing attributes. Name the custom attribute something like "hide-option".
Inside the custom attribute value, add a conditional statement that checks if the option is empty or null. Here's an example of such a statement:
```
{{#if text.trim.length}}
```
This code checks if the text attribute of the dynamic item is not empty or null.Close the conditional statement by adding
{{/if}}. The final custom attribute value should look like this:
```
{{#if text.trim.length}}{{/if}}
```Save your changes and publish the site.
Now, you need to add some custom code to hide the empty option elements.
Open the page settings by clicking on the gear icon in the top-left corner of the designer.
Go to the "Custom Code" tab.
In the "Head Code" section, add the following code:
```html```
Save your changes and publish the site.
Now, when the dropdown is dynamically populated, the empty option elements will be hidden from view.
Note: Using custom code is an advanced technique. Ensure that you have a good understanding of how custom code works and make sure to test your changes thoroughly.
