How can I use Webflow to show/hide divs based on a user's selection in a form?

To show/hide divs based on a user's selection in a form using Webflow, you can utilize Webflow's built-in interaction features and the "Initial Appearance" setting.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:

1. First, create your form elements using the form builder in Webflow. You might use checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdowns, or any other form fields that allow users to make a selection.

2. Once you've added your form fields to the canvas, give each field a meaningful class name. To do this, select the form field and go to the “Settings” panel on the right-hand side. Enter the class name in the "Class" field.

3. Next, you need to create the divs you want to show or hide based on the user's selection. Add them to the canvas and give them class names as well.

4. With your form fields and divs in place, go to the "Interactions" panel in the right-hand sidebar. Click the "+ New Interaction" button to create a new interaction.

5. In the interaction settings, choose the trigger for your interaction. For example, you can select a form field and set the trigger to be when it changes value or when it's clicked.

6. Once you've set the trigger, add a new action to the interaction. You'll want to choose the target element that you want to show or hide based on the form field selection. You can use the class name or choose specific elements on the canvas.

7. In the action settings, choose the type of action to perform. To show or hide the selected divs, select the "Display" action and choose the "None" option to hide the divs or the "Block" option to show them. You can also select other display options such as "Flex", "Grid", etc., based on your specific layout requirements.

8. Repeat steps 5 to 7 for each form field and the corresponding divs you want to show or hide.

9. Once you've set up the interactions for each form field, go to the "Settings" panel for each div and set its "Initial Appearance" to either hidden or visible depending on your desired default state.

10. Preview your site to see the show/hide functionality in action. You can also publish the site to see it live.

By following these steps, you can dynamically show or hide divs based on user selections within a form, adding an interactive element to your Webflow website.
