Yes, it is possible to highlight a specific list item or div in Webflow based on the current day. You can achieve this by using custom code and interactions in Webflow. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

  1. Add a custom attribute to your list item or div:
  • Select the list item or div that you want to highlight.
  • Go to the Settings panel on the right side of the Webflow Editor.
  • Click on "+ Add Custom Attribute".
  • Enter "data-day" as the attribute name.
  1. Add JavaScript code to your project:
  • Open the Custom Code settings in the Project Settings.
  • In the "Head Code" section, insert the following JavaScript code:
    ```javascript ```
  1. Style the highlighted item:
  • In the Webflow Designer, navigate to the Style panel.
  • Click on "Add Class" and create a new class called "highlight" (or any name you prefer).
  • Customize the styles of the highlighted item, such as changing the background color, font color, or adding a border.
  1. Publish your site:
  • Once you're done, make sure to publish your site for the changes to take effect.

Now, when someone visits your website, the JavaScript code will automatically highlight the list item or div that matches the current day. Remember to update the data-day attribute for each item to correspond to the correct day of the week (e.g., Sunday is 0, Monday is 1, etc.).

With this method, you can dynamically highlight different list items or divs based on the current day, giving your website a personalized touch.
