Yes, it is possible to create a secondary navigation bar in Webflow that only pins to the top of the page after scrolling down past it. This effect can be achieved by using Webflow's built-in interactions and sticky position feature.

To create a secondary navigation bar that pins to the top of the page, follow these steps:

  1. Add a new section to your page where you want the secondary navigation bar to be placed. Give it a unique class name to target it in the interactions panel.

  2. Inside this section, add a div block and style it to resemble your desired secondary navigation bar. You can add links, icons, or any other elements you want in the navigation.

  3. Make sure the section containing the secondary navigation bar is positioned at the top of your page, and set its position to relative.

  4. Create a new interaction for the section containing the secondary navigation bar. You can access the interactions panel by selecting the section and clicking on the "+" icon in the upper right corner. Choose a scroll trigger for the interaction, such as "While scrolling in view" or "While page is scrolling."

  5. In the interactions panel, add a new action to the interaction and select "Affect different element." Choose the div block containing the secondary navigation bar.

  6. Set the initial position of the div block to "Relative" or "Fixed" and adjust its position as desired. Then, add a second position for the div block when the interaction is triggered, such as "Top: 0px" or "Position: sticky."

  7. Customize the appearance of the secondary navigation bar in both its initial and pinned positions using the styling options in the Webflow Designer.

  8. Preview and adjust the interaction as necessary to achieve the desired effect. You can test it by scrolling down the page and observing the behavior of the secondary navigation bar.

By following these steps, you can create a secondary navigation bar in Webflow that only pins to the top of the page after scrolling down past it. This provides a sleek and functional design element for enhancing user navigation on your website.
