What is the issue with copy+paste div from one page to another in Webflow?
Copying and pasting a div from one page to another in Webflow can sometimes lead to issues due to the different parent elements and style settings on the destination page. Here are a few issues you may encounter:
Broken styles: When you copy and paste a div from one page to another, the styles applied to that div may not be compatible with the new parent element. This can result in broken or distorted styles, such as incorrect positioning, font sizes, or colors.
Missing interactions: If the copied div has any interactions or animations applied to it, they may not carry over to the new page. This is because interactions are often tied to specific elements and classes, and may not function properly when placed in a different context.
Inconsistent structure: The structure of the copied div may not work harmoniously with the rest of the elements on the new page. It's possible that the div relies on certain parent or child elements that are missing on the new page, leading to unintended layout issues or broken functionality.
Unintended dependencies: The copied div may have dependencies on other elements, styles, or scripts that are not present on the new page. This can cause unexpected behavior or errors, as these dependencies are not automatically carried over during the copy and paste process.
To avoid these issues, it's recommended to manually recreate the div on the destination page using Webflow's design tools rather than copy and paste. This ensures that the new div is properly tailored to the specific page's structure, styles, and interactions.
