How can I close a modal in Webflow when clicking outside of it, without closing the modal when clicking on the modal itself?
To achieve this behavior of closing a modal in Webflow when clicking outside, but not closing it when clicking inside the modal itself, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Create your modal structure
In your Webflow project, you can create the modal structure using Webflow's built-in components like a container div element for the modal overlay and a separate div element for the modal content.
Step 2: Create interactions for the modal
To make the modal open and close on different triggers, you can use Webflow's interactions feature. Create an interaction for opening the modal (e.g., on a button click) and another interaction for closing the modal when clicking outside.
Step 3: Create a trigger for opening the modal
Add a trigger element, like a button or link, and set up an interaction that will open the modal. This can be done by adding a click trigger to the trigger element and selecting an interaction to reveal the modal.
Step 4: Create a trigger for closing the modal when clicking outside
To close the modal when clicking outside of it, but not when clicking inside, you will need to add custom code. In Webflow, you can add custom code through the Page Settings or in a custom code embed element.
In the custom code, you can add an event listener to the modal overlay element and check if the target of the event is the overlay itself or a child element of the modal content. If it's the overlay, trigger the interaction to close the modal.
Here's an example of the custom code you can use:
```
```
Make sure to replace `.modal-overlay` with the appropriate selector for your modal overlay element.
Step 5: Apply the custom code
Add the custom code to your project either via the Page Settings (before
