Is there an easy solution in Webflow for creating a slider element with a bar on the left that changes the content on the right when slid?

TL;DR
  • Add a custom <input type="range"> slider via an HTML embed and style it with CSS.
  • Create content divs with data-slide attributes, hiding all but the default.
  • Use JavaScript to listen for slider input and toggle visibility of matching content based on data-slide value.

You're trying to create a slider-based content switcher in Webflow: a slider (bar) on the left that dynamically updates content on the right. Webflow doesn't offer this natively out-of-the-box, but you can build it using a combination of native range input, interactions, and a bit of custom logic.

1. Add and Style a Range Slider Element

  • Use an HTML Embed or Custom Code Embed to add an <input type="range"> element to your Webflow canvas. Webflow Designer doesn’t offer a native UI for range sliders.
  • Example: use a simple embed with <input type="range" id="content-slider" min="1" max="3" value="1">.
  • Style the slider as needed using custom CSS in the page <head> or inside the Embed itself.

2. Create Your Content Sections

  • Create two or more content divs on the right side (e.g., “Content 1”, “Content 2”, “Content 3”).
  • Assign each one a combo class or custom attribute like data-slide="1", data-slide="2", etc.
  • Initially set all content sections to Display: None, except the first one.
  • Webflow Interactions don’t work natively with input range changes, so you need light custom JavaScript.

  • Inside the Before tag section of your page’s Page Settings, add this:
