To make the content inside a red border disappear as it crosses a blue line in the header in Webflow, you can use interactions. Here's how you can achieve this effect:

  1. Create the layout:
  • Add a section to your page and give it a class name, e.g., "container".
  • Inside the section, create a div block and give it a class name, e.g., "content-container".
  • Add your content elements (e.g., text, images) inside the content-container div.
  1. Style the elements:
  • Select the container class and set its position to relative.

  • Select the content-container class and set its position to absolute.

  • Set its width and height to match the size of the content you want to hide.

  • Give it a background color of red or the color you prefer.

  • Add a border to the content-container with a color that contrasts with your content.

  1. Set up the interaction:
  • Select the content-container element and click on the "Interactions" tab in the right sidebar.
  • Click on the "+" button to add a new interaction.
  • Choose the "Scroll" trigger and select "While Page Scrolls".
  • In the "Affect different elements" section, click on "+Add an action" and choose "Hide".
  • Select the content-container element to hide it.
  1. Define the trigger point:
  • Scroll down in the interactions panel to the "Triggers" section.
  • Click on the "+" button to add a new trigger.
  • Choose "While Scrolling In View" trigger.
  • Set the blue line in the header as the trigger element.
  • Adjust the options such as "Offset" and "Limit to siblings" based on your design.
  1. Tweak the animation:
  • In the interactions panel, scroll down to the "Animations" section.
  • Choose the animation type, such as Fade Out or Slide Out.
  • Adjust the animation settings, such as duration and easing, to achieve your desired effect.
  1. Preview and publish:
  • Preview the interaction to see if the content hides as it crosses the blue line.
  • Publish your site to make the interaction live on your actual site.

By following these steps, you can make content inside a red border disappear as it crosses a blue line in the header in Webflow.

Example:

<section class="container">  <div class="content-container">    <p>Content to hide</p>    <img src="image.jpg" alt="Image to hide" />  </div></section>
.container {  position: relative;}.content-container {  position: absolute;  width: 300px;  height: 200px;  background-color: red;  border: 1px solid black;}
