Webflow is a powerful, visual web design platform that enables users to create professional, responsive websites without coding. It offers a drag-and-drop interface, integrated hosting, and advanced features, making web design accessible to designers and businesses.
This guide explains how to create a link to a specific tab on a Webflow website, enhancing the user experience by directing them to a particular section or content. The steps involve adding a tab, assigning it a unique ID, and incorporating simple JavaScript to enable the tab link functionality. By leveraging specific tab navigation, you can improve site navigation and engagement, even without coding skills.
The steps involve adding a tab, assigning it a unique and direct link, and incorporating simple JavaScript to enable the tab link functionality. By leveraging specific tab navigation, you can improve site navigation and engagement, even without coding skills.
First, open the Webflow editor and select the page or asset where you want to add the tab link. Then, add a tab and give it an identifiable name. Next, assign a unique ID to each tab link, preferably the same as the tab name, for easy identification.
Now publish your site and open it in the new Window.
Next copy full Link Adress name of the tab to add it to you button.
in my case it’s https://www.pash.website/pre-filtered-tabs#w-tabs-0-data-w-pane-0
Next add your copied link to your button.
Next step. To enable the tab link, copy the provided JavaScript code and paste it into the resource settings, making sure that it is inserted before the body tag and on the page where the tab is located.
<!-- Prefiltereted tabs -->
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
var hash = window.location.hash;
if (hash) {
$('.w-tab-link').each(function() {
var target = $(this).attr('href');
if (hash == target) {
$(this).triggerHandler('click');
}
});
$('html, body').animate({
scrollTop: $(hash).offset().top
}, 300);
}
});
</script>
This script will detect the hash in the URL and automatically scroll to the corresponding tab.
In conclusion, leveraging specific tab navigation in Webflow can significantly improve the user experience and engagement on your website, even without coding expertise.
