How can I enlarge the horizontal outline of a divider in Webflow when hovered over?
TL;DR
- Add a divider element with a set height, width, and background color, and assign it a class.
- In the Hover state, increase its height and apply a height transition for smooth animation.
To enlarge the horizontal outline of a divider on hover in Webflow, you need to apply an interaction or style change that visually increases its height or thickness on mouse hover.
1. Add a Horizontal Divider Element
- Use a
Div BlockorHorizontal Line(like an HTML Embed or styledDiv) to act as your divider. - Set its initial height (e.g., 1px or 2px), width (e.g., 100%), and background color.
2. Assign a Class to the Divider
- Select the divider element, then assign it a class (e.g.,
divider-line). - This will allow you to apply consistent styles and hover effects.
3. Adjust Hover Style for Thickness
- With the divider selected, go to the States dropdown (hover).
- Under the Hover state, increase the height (e.g., from 2px to 6px) to make the outline thicker visually.
- Optionally, adjust the background color or transition effects for smooth resizing.
4. Add Transitions for Smooth Effect
- Return to the Normal state of the divider class.
- Under the Transitions section in Styles panel, add a transition for Height (e.g., 200ms easing).
- This makes the hover enlargement smooth instead of instant.
5. Preview and Test Interaction
- Preview the site within Webflow and hover over the divider.
- Confirm that the divider enlarges horizontally (in height) on hover as expected.
Summary
To enlarge a divider's horizontal outline on hover, increase its height under the Hover state, and add a transition to the height property for smooth animation. Use consistent class styling to manage the design easily across your project.
