How can I fix the hover animation issue with the 'onze disciplines' content block in Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Verify and adjust hover styles and interactions for the content block.
  • Check element hierarchy, Z-index, visibility, and ensure no conflicting styles or display settings are preventing hover effects.

If the hover animation for the 'Onze Disciplines' content block isn't working as expected in Webflow, it's likely due to a broken interaction, conflicting styles, or incorrect triggers. Here's how to diagnose and fix it.

1. Check Hover State Styling

  • Select the content block element (likely a div or card) in the Designer.
  • In the Style panel, switch to the Hover state using the dropdown at the top.
  • Verify styles (e.g., background color, transform, opacity) are different from the Normal state.
  • If hover state styles are missing or identical to Normal, add or adjust styles here.

2. Review Hover Interactions

  • Go to the Interactions panel (lightning bolt icon).
  • Click the element and check for any Mouse Hover interactions (e.g., “On Hover” and “On Hover Out”).
  • If you see a hover animation attached:
  • Open the animation timeline and make sure it's targeting the correct elements.
  • Confirm all animation keyframes are correctly set (e.g., opacity from 0% to 100%).
  • Check for delays or conflicting animations that may prevent the animation from showing.

3. Inspect Element Hierarchy and Position

  • If the animation affects a child element (like a text block or overlay), make sure it's inside the hoverable parent div.
  • For overlays or hidden content:
  • Ensure the element has a Position: Absolute or Relative setup that aligns correctly with the parent.
  • Remove any conflicting styles like overflow: hidden on containers that block visibility.

4. Fix Z-Index Issues

  • Elements behind others won’t show hover effects.
  • Try setting a higher Z-index value on the ‘Onze Disciplines’ block or the animated child elements.

5. Test With Preview Mode

  • Use Preview mode (press Play icon) to fully test hover interactions.
  • Sometimes, hover animations behave differently in the Designer and require Preview mode to render correctly.

6. Check for Pointer Events or Display Property

  • Make sure the element or its children are not set to:
  • Display: None (invisible and doesn’t trigger hover).
  • Pointer-events: None (won’t register mouse activity).
  • Adjust settings so the element can actually receive hover events.

7. Mobile Variants

  • Hover interactions are usually disabled on mobile and tablet views.
  • In smaller breakpoints, consider using click-triggered interactions instead of hover.

Summary

To fix the 'Onze Disciplines' hover issue in Webflow, verify hover styles and interactions are properly set, check display and positioning settings, and ensure elements aren’t blocked or inactive. Preview thoroughly and adjust Z-index or layout if needed.
