Creating a Progress Bar in Webflow
Webflow is a powerful web design tool that allows you to create stunning websites without writing code. One of the many features it offers is the ability to create a progress bar. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to create a progress bar in Webflow.
To get started, open your Webflow project and follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Add an HTML Embed element
———————————-
To create a progress bar, we need to add an HTML Embed element to our project. This element allows us to write custom HTML code that will be rendered on our website.
1. Open your project in Webflow and navigate to the page where you want to add the progress bar.
2. Drag and drop an HTML Embed element onto your page.
Step 2: Write the HTML code
—————————
Now that we have added the HTML Embed element, we can write the HTML code for our progress bar.
1. Double-click on the HTML Embed element to open its settings.
2. In the code editor, paste the following HTML code:
“`html
“`
This code creates a container div with two child divs – one for the progress bar itself and another for displaying the progress.
Step 3: Style the progress bar
——————————
With our HTML code in place, we can now style our progress bar using CSS. Click on the Styles tab in Webflow. 2. Add a new class called “progress-bar” by clicking on the + button next to Class. 3. Under Display, select Flexbox. 4. Set Width and Height according to your design preferences.
For example, you can set the width to 100% and height to 20px. 5. Set the Background color of the progress bar by clicking on the Color picker and selecting a color. 6. Add a new class called “progress” by clicking on the + button next to Class. 7. Set Width to 0% initially. We will change this value dynamically using JavaScript later.
Step 4: Add JavaScript code
————————–
To make our progress bar functional, we need to add some JavaScript code that updates the width of the progress div based on the progress percentage. Click on the Settings tab in Webflow.
Click on the Custom Code tab. In the Footer Code section, paste the following JavaScript code:
“`html
“`
This code selects our progress div using querySelector and updates its width based on the value of `progressPercentage`. You can change this value dynamically in your own project.
Step 5: Preview and publish
—————————
Now that we have completed all the necessary steps, it’s time to preview our progress bar and publish our changes. Click on Preview mode in Webflow to see how your progress bar looks and behaves. If you are satisfied with how it looks, click on Publish to make your changes live.
Conclusion
