In Webflow, why does my 'close menu' animation work for the close icon in my menu, but not for the menu links? Do I need to duplicate the animation for the links?

In Webflow, the 'close menu' animation may work for the close icon in your menu, but it may not work for the menu links. This issue typically occurs because the animation is only applied to the close icon element, and not to the menu links themselves. To make the animation work for the menu links as well, you have a few options:

1. Duplicate the animation: You can duplicate the animation you created for the close icon and apply it individually to each menu link. This means you will have to recreate the animation for each link separately, which can be time-consuming if you have multiple links.

2. Apply the animation to a parent element: Instead of duplicating the animation for each menu link, you can apply the animation to a parent element that wraps both the close icon and the menu links. By doing this, the animation will affect all the child elements within the parent element, including the close icon and the menu links.

3. Use interactions: Webflow provides an interactions feature that allows you to create animations and apply them to multiple elements simultaneously. With interactions, you can create a single animation and apply it to both the close icon and the menu links. This approach can save time and make it easier to manage the animations across different elements.

To apply interactions to elements in Webflow:

1. Select the element you want to animate.
2. Go to the Interactions panel on the right-hand side of the Webflow designer.
3. Create a new interaction or select an existing one.
4. Set up the animation you want to apply to the element, including the desired triggers, animations, and durations.
5. Apply the interaction to the element by selecting the relevant trigger, such as a click or hover event.

By following these steps, you should be able to create a 'close menu' animation that works not only for the close icon but for the menu links as well, without the need to duplicate the animation for each individual link.
