How can I create hairline splitters in Webflow using divs to create a split line between text?

TL;DR
  • Use a flex container to align text and 1px-height divs styled as lines horizontally or vertically.
  • Adjust size, spacing, and responsiveness using width, height, color, and media queries for a clean, adaptable layout.

To create hairline splitters between text using Webflow, you can use styled div blocks to act as thin lines, placed between or around text elements.

1. Add a Wrapper for Text and Splitter

  • Drag in a Div Block and give it a class like splitter-wrapper.
  • Set its display to flex, flex direction to row, and align items to center.
  • This allows text and the hairline divider(s) to sit in a horizontal line.

2. Add Text Elements and Splitter

  • Inside splitter-wrapper, add:
  • A Text Block with your first label (e.g., "Left").
  • A Div Block to act as the line (give it a class like split-line).
  • Another Text Block for the second label (e.g., "Right").
  • Optionally, add padding or margins between these elements.

3. Style the Hairline Splitter

  • Select the split-line div and apply:
  • Height: 1px
  • Width: Set based on desired length (e.g., 100px or 100% for a full-width line).
  • Background Color: Choose your desired line color (e.g., #ccc for light gray).
  • Can also use min-height: 1px if you want to ensure visibility on high-density screens.

4. Optional: Vertical Splitters

  • For vertical lines between texts:
  • Set split-line's width: 1px, height as needed.
  • Adjust flex-direction to row (default for horizontal) and align text accordingly.

5. Responsive Tweaks

  • Use Media Queries in the Webflow Designer to hide or change line sizes on smaller breakpoints if needed.
  • Consider setting max-width or using percentage-based widths to keep the splitter balanced across screen sizes.

Summary

To create hairline splitters in Webflow, use a flex container with text elements and 1px-height divs styled as lines. Adjust the orientation (row or column) and fine-tune spacing for a clean, balanced layout.
