How can I change the text on a button to display a phone number on hover in Webflow without using images?

To change the text on a button to display a phone number on hover in Webflow without using images, you can leverage the power of Webflow's interactions and some simple CSS. Here's how you can achieve this effect:

Step 1: Design the button
Create a button element in your Webflow project and add the initial text that you want to display. For example, you can have the button text say "Call Now" initially.

Step 2: Create a custom attribute
Add a custom attribute to your button element by selecting the element and navigating to the Settings panel. Click on the Plus icon next to "Attributes", and give it a name such as "data-phone-number". In the value field, enter your phone number.

Step 3: Style the button
Style the button to your desired appearance using Webflow's built-in design tools. You can change the background color, text color, and any other visual attributes you want.

Step 4: Add the interaction
Select the button element and go to the Interactions panel. Create a new hover interaction by clicking the Plus icon under "Hover" in the trigger section. Choose the "Mouse Hover" trigger.

Step 5: Update the text
To change the text upon hover, select the button's text element within the interaction panel. In the animation section, select the "Change Text" action. In the text field, you can either manually type in your desired phone number or use an expression to pull it dynamically. To use the custom attribute we created earlier, you can use the expression `element.getAttribute('data-phone-number')`.

Step 6: Fine-tune the animation (optional)
If you want to add more visual impact to the interaction, you can apply additional animations to the button. For instance, you can add a background color transition or a scale effect to make the button visually stand out upon hover. You can explore the different animation options in the Interactions panel.

Step 7: Preview and publish
Before publishing your project, preview the button in the Webflow Designer to ensure it functions as expected. Test the hover effect and make any necessary adjustments. Once you are satisfied, publish your site to make the changes live.

That's it! Now, when a user hovers over the button, the text will change to display the phone number you specified. This method avoids using images and utilizes Webflow's interactions and CSS capabilities to achieve the desired effect.
