Yes, it is possible to make a vertical slider in Webflow using relative dimensions. Here's how you can achieve this:
- Add a section to your Webflow project and give it a class name. This section will act as your slider container.
- Inside the section, add a div block and give it a class name. This div block will serve as your slider content container.
- Set the height of the section to a fixed value or leave it as auto if you want it to adjust based on the content.
- Set the width of the section to 100% to make it full-width.
- Set the overflow property of the section to hidden. This will ensure that the content inside the container is not visible when it exceeds the section's dimensions.
- Set the position property of the section to relative. This allows you to position the content inside the section using relative dimensions.
- Inside the div block, add the content you want to have in your vertical slider, such as images or text.
- Set the position property of the div block to absolute. This will allow you to position the content relative to the slider container.
- Set the width of the div block to 100% or a fixed value to make it take up the full width of the container.
- Set the height of the div block to 100% or a fixed value to make it take up the full height of the container.
- Position the div block using relative dimensions such as top, bottom, left, or right to determine its position inside the container.
- To create the sliding effect, you can use interactions in Webflow. Add a new interaction to the div block and set the trigger to a scroll event or a custom interaction trigger.
- In the interaction settings, set the initial state of the div block to its starting position, and then define the end state by animating the position using a relative dimension such as top or bottom.
- Customize the timing and easing of the animation to achieve the desired effect.
- Repeat steps 7 to 14 for each content slide you want to have in your vertical slider.
By following these steps, you can create a vertical slider using relative dimensions in Webflow. Remember to preview and test your slider in different viewports to ensure it looks and functions as expected.
