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.
