How do I fix the interaction on hover issue in Webflow for a collection list with two different components?

If you're seeing issues with hover interactions not working properly in a Collection List with two different components, it’s likely related to how the interaction is targeting or how the structure of the collection items is defined.

1. Understand the Collection Structure

• Webflow Collection Lists duplicate their content for each CMS item.
• If you have two distinct components (e.g., image + text block, or two styles of display) within a single collection item and are using interactions, the problem may arise from mis-targeted elements in the interaction.

2. Check the Interaction Targets

• Go to your interaction in the Interactions Panel (IX2).
• Under the trigger (e.g., Mouse Hover), check what element is being affected.
• Make sure the interaction affects “Only children of this element” or “Only siblings of this element” if the other component is within the same collection item.
• If you've accidentally selected “Affect all elements with class”, the hover might be triggering all items instead of just the one you're hovering.

3. Use Combo Classes or Unique Structure

• If two different components (e.g., Component A and Component B) look similar but need different hover behaviors, assign combo classes (e.g., .card-component.a, .card-component.b) to distinguish them.
• Tailor interactions to trigger only on their respective combo classes.

4. Group Elements Intelligently

• Wrap related components inside a common parent div.
• Use this wrapper as the hover trigger and have the interaction affect only elements within that wrapper.
• This ensures that hovering on one component won’t trigger changes on the other unless desired.

5. Manage Display Conditions (If Applicable)

• If each collection item shows either Component A or Component B based on a condition, ensure that interactions account for visibility.
• Avoid trying to manipulate hidden elements in an interaction unless visibility is toggled first.

6. Test Hover Triggers Within CMS Items

• Click into a collection item in the Designer.
• Hover over it and visually verify that interaction affects only that instance.
• If it doesn't, modify the interaction to affect "Element within this" to restrict scope.

Summary

To fix hover interaction issues in a Collection List with two components:

• Check the scope of your interaction targeting.
• Use combo classes to treat components separately.
• Ensure interactivity is scoped to individual collection items only.
• Use wrapper divs and structure controls to confine the hover behavior.

These steps will help ensure that hover interactions behave as expected for each individual component within your CMS list.
