To make the buttons stay pressed when users click out on your product page using Mixitup in Webflow, you'll need to utilize custom code and some additional JavaScript. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:

  1. Set up Mixitup: First, make sure you have Mixitup set up on your product page. Mixitup is a powerful filter and sort plugin that allows you to control the display of your elements.

  2. Create HTML structure: Build your buttons using HTML. Each button should have a unique class or data attribute that corresponds to the category or filter you want to apply. For example, if you have a "Shirts" category, you can create a button with the class "filter-shirts".

  3. Add JavaScript: On your Webflow page, go to the "Page settings" and navigate to the "Custom Code" section. In the "Before tag" field, insert the following code:

<script>  // When the document is ready  document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {    // Get all the filter buttons    const buttons = document.querySelectorAll('.button-class');        // Loop through each button    buttons.forEach(function(button) {      button.addEventListener('click', function() {        // Remove previously selected button class        const activeButton = document.querySelector('.active-button');        if (activeButton) {          activeButton.classList.remove('active-button');        }                // Add the active class to the clicked button        this.classList.add('active-button');      });    });  });</script>

Replace .button-class with the class or data attribute you used for your buttons. Also, make sure you wrap the JavaScript code in tags.

  1. Style the active button: Lastly, add some CSS to style the active button. In the Webflow Designer, go to the "Custom Code" section and navigate to the "Head code". Insert the following code:
<style>  .active-button {    /* Add your active button styles here */    background-color: #F00;    color: #FFF;  }</style>

Again, make sure to customize the CSS properties to match your desired button styles.

That's it! Now, when a user clicks on a filter button, the button will remain pressed with the '.active-button' class added. You can adjust the styles applied to the active button to match your design.
