To completely remove the modal div from the page on button click in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the button element that will trigger the removal of the modal. This could be any button on your page that has an interaction associated with it.

  2. Go to the Interactions panel on the right side of the Webflow Designer.

  3. Create a new interaction by clicking the "+" button and selecting the appropriate trigger type (e.g., click).

  4. Choose the element that contains the modal div in the "Select an element" dropdown. This will be the parent element that contains both the button and the modal div.

  5. Next, select the action of the interaction. In this case, you want to remove the modal div from the page. To do this, click the "Start" button under the "Affect different elements" section.

  6. Choose the "Hide" option from the dropdown menu. This will hide the modal div.

  7. Finally, specify the target element to hide, which is the modal div itself. Select the modal div from the "Select an element" dropdown.

  8. Save and preview your changes to test if the modal div is successfully removed from the page when the button is clicked.

Using this method, the modal div will be hidden but not permanently removed from the HTML structure. If you want to completely remove the modal div from the page, including from the HTML structure, you'll need to use custom code. Here's an example of how you can achieve this:

  1. Select the button element that will trigger the removal of the modal.

  2. Go to the Interactions panel on the right side of the Webflow Designer.

  3. Create a new interaction by clicking the "+" button and selecting the appropriate trigger type (e.g., click).

  4. Choose the element that contains the modal div in the "Select an element" dropdown.

  5. Select the action of the interaction. In this case, you want to add a custom code action to remove the modal div completely.

  6. Click the "Start" button under the "Affect different elements" section, and select the "Run custom code" option.

  7. In the code box that appears, add the following JavaScript code:

document.getElementById("your-modal-id").remove();

Replace "your-modal-id" with the actual ID of your modal div. You can find the ID by selecting the modal div and looking at the ID field in the element settings.

  1. Save and preview your changes to test if the modal div is successfully removed from the page when the button is clicked.

With this custom code, the modal div will be completely removed from the HTML structure of the page, giving you more control over its removal.

Additional note:
Remember to back up your project before making any changes to avoid losing any important information.
