Yes, it is possible to get a backdrop filter working on nav dropdowns in Webflow. To achieve this, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the dropdown element: In the Webflow Designer, select the nav dropdown you want to apply the backdrop filter to.

  2. Set the position to relative: In the Styles tab, make sure the position of the dropdown is set to relative. This is important because the backdrop filter property won't work on elements with a default position of static.

  3. Add a div inside the dropdown: Inside the dropdown element, add a new div block. This div block will act as the container for the dropdown's content.

  4. Apply the backdrop filter to the div: With the newly created div block selected, go to the Styles tab and click on the plus (+) icon next to the Background property. In the dropdown menu that appears, select the Backdrop Filter option.

  5. Adjust the backdrop filter settings: Once you've applied the backdrop filter, you can further customize it by adjusting the various settings. You can control properties like blur, brightness, contrast, hue-rotate, and more to achieve the desired effect.

  6. Style the dropdown content: Finally, make sure to style the content of the dropdown, including text, background color, padding, and any other desired visual adjustments.

By following these steps, you can easily get a backdrop filter working on nav dropdowns in Webflow. This allows you to create visually appealing dropdown menus that stand out and enhance the overall design of your website.
