How can I create page scroll for a tab link in Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Assign unique IDs to each tab pane (e.g., tab-1, tab-2).
  • Set Tab Links to anchor IDs (#tab-1, #tab-2) instead of default tab switching.
  • Use JavaScript to prevent default behavior and enable smooth scrolling.
  • Adjust scroll offset if using a fixed navbar to prevent overlap.

You can create a page scroll effect for a tab link in Webflow using anchor links along with some adjustments in the Tabs component. Since Webflow's default tab functionality does not support scrolling to a specific tab when clicked, you'll need to manually link the tabs with an ID-based scroll behavior.

1. Add Unique IDs to Tab Panes

  • Go to the "Tabs" component in the Webflow Designer.
  • Select each Tab Pane and assign a unique ID in the Element Settings panel (e.g., tab-1, tab-2, etc.).
  • Select each Tab Link (inside the Tab Menu).
  • Instead of directly switching to a tab using the default behavior, set its Link Setting to #tab-1, #tab-2, etc.
  • This will make the page scroll down to the assigned section while also activating the correct tab.

3. Prevent Default Tab Click Behavior (Optional)

If clicking the tab should scroll and then activate the correct tab instead of switching instantly:

  • Add a small JavaScript snippet in Page Settings → Footer Code:
    ```js```
  • Update the .w-tab-link class if needed based on your Webflow structure.

4. Adjust the Scroll Offset if Needed

  • If your navbar is fixed, the scroll might overlap the tabs.
  • Add padding or margin to the tab section or adjust the scroll behavior with extra spacing using JavaScript.

Summary

To create a page scroll for a Tab Link in Webflow, assign unique IDs to each tab pane, and make Tab Links scroll using anchor IDs (#tab-1, #tab-2, etc.). Optionally, use JavaScript to smooth scroll and activate the correct tab.
