Can you provide a starting point for the code I need to use for wrapping a glossary section in Webflow using jQuery?

To wrap a glossary section in Webflow using jQuery, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create the HTML structure: First, create an HTML structure for your glossary section. You can use a div element with a specific class or ID to identify the glossary section. Inside the glossary section, you can create a list (ul or ol) to display the terms and definitions.

  2. Add the jQuery library: Before adding any jQuery code, make sure that you have the jQuery library included in your project. You can either download the jQuery library and host it on your server, or you can use a CDN (Content Delivery Network) to include it. Here's an example of how to include jQuery using a CDN:

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>
  1. Write the jQuery code: Once you have the jQuery library included, you can start writing the code to wrap and toggle the glossary terms. Here's an example jQuery code:
$(document).ready(function() {  // Wrap the glossary terms with a span  $('.glossary-term').wrap('<span class="toggle-term"></span>');    // Set up the click event to toggle the definitions  $('.toggle-term').click(function() {    $(this).toggleClass('active');    $(this).next('.glossary-definition').slideToggle();  });});
  • In this example, we are assuming that each glossary term is wrapped in an element with the class "glossary-term". You can adjust the selector based on your specific HTML structure.
  • We're also assuming that the glossary definitions are placed right after each glossary term, wrapped in an element with the class "glossary-definition". Again, adjust the selector if needed.
  1. Style the glossary section: Lastly, you can add custom CSS styles to make your glossary section look visually appealing. You can style the terms, definitions, and toggle behavior as per your design requirements.

By following these steps, you can easily wrap and toggle glossary terms using jQuery in Webflow. This approach allows you to create an interactive glossary section that expands/collapses the definitions when a term is clicked.
