Yes, there is a way to create a loop scroll for text in Webflow. You can achieve this by using the custom code embed feature in Webflow. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to create a loop scroll for text in Webflow:

  1. Create a new page or open an existing page in the Webflow Designer.
  2. Add a new section to your page or select an existing section where you want to add the loop scroll.
  3. Inside the section, add a new element, such as a div or a text element, to contain your scrollable text.
  4. Give the element a class name. You can do this by selecting the element and going to the Styles panel on the right-hand side of the Designer.
  5. Open the page settings by clicking on the gear icon in the top-left corner of the Designer.
  6. In the page settings panel, navigate to the Custom Code tab.
  7. Inside the Head Code section, add the following CSS code:
<style>.scroll {    height: 200px; /* Adjust the height as per your requirements */    overflow: scroll;    overflow-x: hidden;    white-space: nowrap;    animation: marquee 20s linear infinite;}@keyframes marquee {    0%   { transform: translateX(100%); }    100% { transform: translateX(-100%); }}</style>
  1. Go back to the Webflow Designer and select the element that you want to create the loop scroll for.
  2. In the Styles panel, go to the Custom Code tab.
  3. In the Head Code section, add the following HTML code:
<script>Webflow.push(function() {    $('.scroll').each(function() {        $(this).html('<div>' + $(this).html() + '</div>');    });});</script>
  1. Make sure to replace .scroll with the class name you gave to the element in step 4.
  2. Publish your Webflow site to see the loop scroll in action.

By following these steps, you will be able to create a loop scroll for text in Webflow using custom code. The text will continuously scroll horizontally within the specified height.

One thing to note is that when using custom code in Webflow, it's always a good practice to preview and test your site before publishing to ensure everything works as expected.
