How can I add conditional visibility in Webflow to prevent a div from appearing on a published page if a CMS field is empty?

To add conditional visibility in Webflow and prevent a div from appearing on a published page if a CMS field is empty, you can utilize the power of dynamic bindings and custom code.

Here's a step-by-step explanation of how you can achieve this:

1. Create a CMS Collection: Start by creating a CMS Collection that includes the necessary fields for your content, including the field you want to check for emptiness.

2. Design your page: Build your page layout and design, including the div element that you want to conditionally hide.

3. Bind the CMS field: Select the div element you want to hide and go to the properties panel. Under the Field Settings tab, bind the element to the CMS field you want to check for emptiness. This will dynamically populate the content from the CMS collection on your published page.

4. Add custom code: Next, you'll need to add some custom code to hide the div element if the CMS field is empty.

a. Go to the Page Settings panel and click on the Custom Code tab.

b. In the tag section, add a `

```

c. In the Footer Code section, add a script tag to detect if the bound CMS field is empty and apply the "hide-if-empty" class to the associated div element. Here's an example code snippet to achieve this:
```javascript

```

Make sure to replace ".w-dyn-bind-empty-check" with the appropriate selector for your bound CMS field element, and ".hide-if-empty" with the class name of the div element you want to hide.

5. Publish and test: Finally, publish your website changes and test the conditional visibility by adding content to the CMS field and checking if the div element appears, or leaving it empty to see if the div element is hidden.

By following these steps, you can add conditional visibility in Webflow and hide a div element on a published page if a CMS field is empty.
