Yes, there is a way to apply a "current style" to the dropdown button in a Webflow navbar to indicate that a button in the dropdown list has been selected. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Select the dropdown button element in the Webflow Designer.
  2. In the "Styles" panel on the right, locate the "Current" state option. This allows you to define the styles that will be applied to the selected button.
  3. Click on the "Current" state option and style the button to your liking. You can change the background color, text color, border, or any other visual aspect.
  4. Save your changes and preview the site to see the "current style" of the dropdown button in action.

By following these steps, you can create a visual indicator to show which button in the dropdown list is selected, enhancing the user experience on your website.

Note: The "Current" state option is only available for elements that have multiple states, such as dropdown menus, tabs, or sliders.

Example CSS Code for "Current" State:

button.dropdown-button:current {  background-color: #ff0000; /* Apply red background color */  color: #ffffff; /* Apply white text color */  border: 2px solid #000000; /* Apply black border */  /* Add any other custom styles as needed */}

Tip: You can also use interactions in Webflow to add dynamic effects to the "current state" of the dropdown button. For example, you can make the selected button fade in or scale up when clicked.
