Creating a Tab in Webflow

If you’re looking to add a tab feature to your website built on Webflow, you’re in luck! Webflow provides an easy way to create tabs that allow users to toggle between different sections of content. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the steps to create a tab using HTML and CSS.

To begin, let’s start by setting up the structure of our tab component using HTML. We’ll use a combination of

and

    elements to create the tabs, and

    elements for the content within each tab.

    First, let’s create the container for our tabs. We’ll start with a

    element with the class “tabs-container”. This will serve as the outer wrapper for our tab component.

    HTML Structure:

    “`html

    “`

    Inside the “tabs-container” div, we’ll place our tabs. We can achieve this using an unordered list (

      ) where each list item (

    • ) represents a tab. To differentiate between active and inactive tabs, we’ll add a class of “active” to one of the list items.

      HTML Structure – Tabs:

      “`html

      • Tab 1
      • Tab 2
      • Tab 3

      “`

      Now that we have our tabs set up, let’s move on to creating the content for each tab. We’ll use separate

      elements for each tab’s content, giving them unique IDs so that we can link them later.

      HTML Structure – Content:

      “`html

      • Tab 1
      • Tab 2
      • Tab 3

      “`

      Now that we have the basic structure in place, let’s move on to the CSS styling. We’ll use CSS to hide inactive tabs and show the corresponding content when a tab is clicked.

      CSS Styling:

      “`css
      .tabs .active {
      /* Add styling for active tab */
      }tab-content {
      display: none;
      }tab-content.active {
      display: block;
      }
      “`

      In the above CSS code snippet, we Target the active tab using the “.active” class and apply any desired styling. We also set the default display of “.tab-content” to “none” and change it to “block” when the respective tab is active.

      Finally, let’s add some interactivity using JavaScript or jQuery. We’ll listen for click events on each tab and toggle the active classes accordingly.

      JavaScript / jQuery:

      “`javascript
      $(document).ready(function() {
      $(‘.tabs li’).click(function() {
      var tabId = $(this).index();

      $(‘.removeClass(‘active’);
      $(this).addClass(‘active’);

      $(‘.tab-content’).removeClass(‘active’);
      $(‘#tab’ + (tabId + 1)).addClass(‘active’);
      });
      });
      “`

      In the JavaScript code above, we listen for click events on each tab using jQuery. When a tab is clicked, we remove the “active” class from all tabs and add it to the clicked tab. Similarly, we remove the “active” class from all tab contents and add it to the corresponding content based on its index.

      And there you have it! You’ve successfully created a tab in Webflow using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/jQuery. Feel free to customize the styling and content according to your needs.

      Remember to test your tab component on different devices and browsers to ensure a consistent user experience. Happy coding!
