Custom CSS in Webflow
Curious about where to put custom CSS in Webflow? Ilja explains it in the below video:
CSS
/* Orange highlight ring on bullet point nav for hover + focus states */
.centered-slider-bullet::after{
content: '';
position: absolute;
inset: 2px;
border-radius: 100em;
z-index: -1;
border: 1px solid #FF4C24;
transition: all 0.5s cubic-bezier(0.65, 0.05, 0, 1);
}
.centered-slider-bullet:hover::after,
.centered-slider-bullet.active::after,
.centered-slider-bullet:focus::after{
inset: -5px;
}
/* Fade non-active slides */
.centered-slider-row:has( .centered-slider-slide.active) .centered-slider-slide:not(.active){
opacity: 0.45;
}
/* Little (orange) corners on each slide */
/* https://css-tip.com/corner-only-border-image/ */
.centered-slider-slide::after {
--size: 1em; /* corner size */
--width: 1px; /* border width */
--gap: 0.5em; /* gap */
--color: #FF4C24;
content: '';
position: absolute;
inset: calc(var(--gap) * -1);
z-index: 1;
opacity: 0;
padding: calc(var(--gap) + var(--width));
outline: var(--width) solid var(--color);
outline-offset: calc(var(--gap)/-1);
mask:
conic-gradient(at var(--size) var(--size),#0000 75%,#000 0)
0 0/calc(100% - var(--size)) calc(100% - var(--size)),
linear-gradient(#000 0 0) content-box;
transition: all 0.4s cubic-bezier(0.65, 0.05, 0, 1);
}
.centered-slider-slide.active::after {
outline-offset: calc(-1*var(--width));
opacity: 1;
}
Implementation
This Slider leverages GSAP Draggable, Intertia and ScrollTrigger to create a responsive slider with support for click, drag, and autoplay interactions. Here’s how you can implement it:
HTML Structure
Wrapper:
Use a container with the attribute data-centered-slider="wrapper"
. Autoplay is optional, and is added as follows:
<div data-centered-slider="wrapper" data-slider-autoplay="true" data-slider-autoplay-duration="4">
Slides:
Each slide must have data-centered-slider="slide"
. Unique IDs are dynamically assigned (e.g., slide-0, slide-1, …).
Bullets:
Navigation bullets are buttons marked with data-centered-slider="bullet"
. They include ARIA attributes like aria-controls and aria-selected. In our example we've set larger thumbnails, but these could of course also be more traditional bullet point navigation items.
Prev/Next Controls:
Add buttons with data-centered-slider="prev-button"
and data-centered-slider="next-button"
, and provide aria-label values.
JavaScript Functionality
Initialization:
On DOMContentLoaded, the slider initializes by assigning unique IDs to slides and setting ARIA attributes on bullets.
Animation & Interaction:
- Uses GSAP’s horizontalLoop with a custom ease to animate transitions.
- Users can navigate by clicking slides or bullets, using prev/next buttons, or dragging slides (with GSAP Draggable and InertiaPlugin).
- When
data-slider-autoplay
is "true", the slider automatically advances using a duration defined indata-slider-autoplay-duration
(in seconds).
ScrollTrigger pauses autoplay when the slider is off-screen or hovered, resuming when visible.
