To create a scrollable menu for a fixed navigation in Webflow, you'll need to use a combination of interactions and custom code. Here's a step-by-step guide on how you can achieve this:
1. Design your fixed navigation:
- Start by creating a container (div block) for your navigation.
- Inside the container, add a navbar element and style it as per your design requirements. Set the position to "Fixed" so that it stays fixed on the screen while scrolling.
2. Create a scrollable menu:
- Inside the navbar, create a div block to contain your menu items.
- Set the height of this div block to match your desired scrollable menu height.
- Set the overflow property of the div block to "auto" so that it becomes scrollable when content exceeds its height.
3. Add menu items:
- Inside the scrollable menu div block, add your menu items as links or buttons.
- Style them according to your design preference.
4. Set up interactions:
- Select the navbar element and go to the Interactions panel.
- Create a new interaction for the navbar when the page finishes loading.
- Add a Scroll Trigger to this interaction, selecting the scrollable menu div block as the trigger element.
- Set the start action to "Affect different element" and choose the navbar element.
- Add a class name suffix for the new state (e.g., "scrolled") and define the desired styling changes for the navbar (e.g., background color, text color, etc.).
5. Custom code for dynamic scrolling:
- Open the page settings by clicking the gear icon in the Pages panel.
- Go to the Custom Code tab and add the following JavaScript code in the Footer Code section:
\`\`\`javascript <script> document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function () { const navbar = document.querySelector(".navbar"); const scrollableMenu = document.querySelector(".scrollable-menu"); scrollableMenu.addEventListener("scroll", () => { navbar.classList.toggle("scrolled", scrollableMenu.scrollTop > 0); }); }); </script> \`\`\`
- Update the class names in the code to match your own class names.
6. Style the "scrolled" state:
- Add a new class to your navbar element (e.g., "scrolled").
- Define the desired styling changes for the "scrolled" state, such as background color, text color, etc.
That's it! With these steps, you've created a scrollable menu for a fixed navigation in Webflow. Now, when users scroll within the scrollable menu, the navbar will dynamically change its appearance based on the scroll position.
