How can I use Webflow to create a 'more/less' button that expands a div to show hidden content without creating a new element or text box?
To create a 'more/less' button that expands a div to show hidden content without creating a new element or text box in Webflow, you can utilize the Webflow interactions feature. Here's a step-by-step guide on how you can achieve this:
1. Start by creating a container div that wraps around the content you want to hide initially.
2. Inside this container div, create another div or any element that holds the hidden content you want to reveal.
3. Apply the desired styling to the container div, such as a fixed height, overflow property set to hidden, and any other necessary styles for the initial display.
4. Next, create a button element that will act as your 'more/less' button. You can position this button inside or outside the container div based on your design requirements.
5. Apply any necessary styling to the button, such as text and background color, position, and so on.
6. With the button selected, go to the Interactions panel. Click on the '+' button to add a new interaction.
7. In the interactions panel, choose the 'Mouse Click' trigger for the button.
8. For the action, choose 'Start Animation' > 'While Scrolling'.
9. In the animation settings, select the container div element as the target for the animation.
10. Add a new timeline to the animation and create two keyframes:
a. For the first keyframe, set the height of the container div to the desired expanded height (to reveal all hidden content).
b. For the second keyframe, set the height of the container div back to the initial height (to hide the content again).
11. Adjust the duration and easing settings of the animation based on your preference.
12. Finally, toggle the initial state of the interaction to 'Affects element on load' if you want the initial state to be hidden or 'Affects element' if you want the hidden content to be visible initially.
That's it! You've created a 'more/less' button using Webflow interactions. Preview and test your design to ensure the functionality works as expected.
