To properly use a script to link a button from one page to a section on your homepage in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Find the ID of the section: In order to link to a specific section on your homepage, you will need to find the ID of that section. To do this, select the desired section in Webflow's Designer and go to the Settings panel on the right-hand side. In the Element Settings tab, you will see an option called ID. Enter a unique ID for that section and make note of it.

  2. Add a button: On the page where you want the button to link from, add a button element or any other element that you want to use as a trigger.

  3. Open the link settings: With the button selected, go to the Interactions panel on the right-hand side and click on the + New Interaction button. From the available options, select Mouse Click.

  4. Choose "Navigate to URL": Under Mouse Click, you will see a list of action options. Select Navigate to URL from the list.

  5. Enter the JavaScript code: In the URL field, you will need to enter the JavaScript code that will handle the scrolling to the desired section. The script you can use is:

javascript:void(0);Webflow.exp();
  1. Modify the script: To scroll to a specific section, modify the script by adding the section ID like this:
javascript:void(0);Webflow.exp(0,'sectionID');

Replace 'sectionID' with the actual ID of the section on your homepage.

  1. Test the link: Save your changes and preview the website to test the link. When you click on the button, it should scroll down to the specified section on your homepage.

By following these steps, you will be able to use a script to link a button from one page to a section on your homepage in Webflow.
