How can I set up a search mode in Webflow where only a pictogram appears and the menu disappears when clicked on?
To set up a search mode in Webflow where only a pictogram appears and the menu disappears when clicked on, follow these steps:
Create a button or pictogram element: Start by adding a button or pictogram element to your Webflow project. This element will serve as the trigger to activate the search mode and hide the menu.
Style the button or pictogram: Customize the appearance of the button or pictogram to match your design. You can use the Webflow Designer to adjust the size, color, and position of the element.
Add interactions: In Webflow, interactions allow you to create dynamic and responsive elements. Select the button or pictogram element, then click on the "+" icon to add a new interaction.
Choose the interaction trigger: Set the interaction trigger to "Click" so that the search mode activates when the button or pictogram is clicked.
Select the element to affect: In the "Affect element" section of the interaction panel, choose the menu element(s) that you want to hide when the search mode is active.
Define the action: In the "Action" section of the interaction panel, choose the "Hide" action for the menu element(s). This will ensure that the menu disappears when the button or pictogram is clicked.
Add a second interaction: To reveal the search bar when the button or pictogram is clicked, you need to add a second interaction. Click on the "+" icon again to create a new interaction.
Choose the interaction trigger: Set the trigger of the second interaction to "Click" as well.
Select the element to affect: In the "Affect element" section, choose the search bar element that you want to display when the search mode is active.
Define the action: In the "Action" section, choose the "Show" action for the search bar element. This will make the search bar appear when the button or pictogram is clicked.
Preview and test: Preview your website to see the search mode in action. Click on the button or pictogram to make sure the menu disappears and the search bar appears.
That's it! You have now set up a search mode in Webflow where only a pictogram appears and the menu disappears when clicked on. Remember to publish your changes for them to take effect on your live site.
