Yes, it is possible to change a DIV's background image in Webflow by clicking on a TAB. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Add a TAB component to your page: Go to the Elements panel, search for the "Tab" component, and drag it onto your page where you want it to be placed.

  2. Set up the TAB content: Click on the Tab component to open its settings panel. Add as many Tab panes as you need by clicking the plus button within the Tabs settings. Each Tab pane will represent a different image you want to display.

  3. Add a DIV with a background image: In each Tab pane, add a DIV element by dragging it from the Elements panel or using a shortcut like CMD/CTRL+D. Inside the DIV, set the background image property by clicking on the "Settings" icon next to the Background Image property in the Styles panel. Choose the background image you want to display for that specific Tab pane.

  4. Connect the TAB to the background image change: With the Tab component still selected, switch to the "Settings" tab in the right panel. Under the "Tab Toggle Settings," you'll find an option called "Change element when clicked." Turn this option on by toggling the switch.

  5. Set the target element to replace the background image: Once the "Change element when clicked" option is turned on, click on the "Link" field below it. From the dropdown, select the DIV element containing the background image that you want to change.

  6. Preview and test: Now you can preview your page and test the TAB functionality. Each time you click on a different TAB, the background image of the selected DIV element should change accordingly.

By following these steps, you can easily change a DIV's background image in Webflow by clicking on a TAB. This technique can be useful for creating interactive elements and adding visual interest to your website.
