To hide or unhide an element on a Webflow site based on a radio button selection, you can use interactions. Follow these steps:

  1. Create your radio buttons: In the Webflow Designer, add a radio button element to your page. You can find this in the form section of the elements panel. Add as many radio button options as needed.

  2. Style the elements: Customize the appearance of the elements involved in the interaction, such as the radio buttons and the elements you want to hide or unhide.

  3. Select the element to hide: Click on the element that you want to show or hide based on the radio button selection. Then, go to the Interactions panel.

  4. Create the interaction: In the Interactions panel, click on + New Interaction.

  5. Set the trigger: Select the radio button group as the trigger for the interaction. This means the interaction will be triggered when the user selects one of the radio buttons.

  6. Set the action: Choose Hide/Show as the action type.

  7. Specify the element to hide: Under Hide, select the element that you want to hide when a specific radio button is selected.

  8. Repeat for other radio button options: If there are multiple radio buttons, create a new interaction for each option, specifying the respective element to hide or show.

  9. Preview and test: Preview your site to see the effects of the interaction. Test the radio buttons to ensure the elements hide and unhide as intended.

That's it! You have now successfully hidden or unhidden an element based on a radio button selection in Webflow.

Additional Tips:

  • You can apply additional animations or transitions to the elements using the "Affect different element" option in the interactions panel.
  • Make sure the ID attribute for the elements involved is properly set to easily select them for the interaction.
  • Preview your site on different devices to ensure the visibility of the hidden elements is consistent across various screen sizes.
