Navbar menu (hamburger) automatically closes in about 14 seconds or so without pressing anything. It happens on tablet and mobile — I suppose it’s the truth for desktop too but I’m not using the menu on desktop. As you can see I’m just using Webflow’s default navbar button/menu, not a custom one.
Also, I want to use lottie in the navbar button but I do not know how to implement it in the menu. I was trying to use Webflow Interactions for that matter but, even auto-close bug aside, it didn’t work because it’s possible to close the menu by tapping outside of the menu (it’s not full screen) or tap on the navlink — I guess it’s possible to use some custom code for that.
Then you can setup your animation for the burger icon.
On open : get your Lottie animation to 50% (with an initial state of 0%)
On close : get it to 100%
The bug (if we can call it a bug) was caused by the following code:
<script>
var Webflow = Webflow || [];
Webflow.push(function () {
// DOMready has fired
// May now use jQuery and Webflow api
// start everything
var tabTimeout;
clearTimeout(tabTimeout);
tabLoop();
// define loop - cycle through all tabs
function tabLoop() {
tabTimeout = setTimeout(function() {
var $next = $('.fs-tabs-menu').children('.w--current:first').next();
if($next.length) {
$next.click(); // click resets timeout, so no need for interval
} else {
$('.fs-tabs-link:first').click();
}
}, 5000); // 5 second tab loop
}
// reset timeout if a tab is clicked
$('.fs-tabs-link').click(function() {
clearTimeout(tabTimeout);
tabLoop();
});
});
</script>
The reason is that the custom code is using “click” as a way to switch tabs, hence the menu auto-closes: it’s just the browser clicks on a tab.
Awesome you found the source !
Can you tell me what the script does ? And where do you use it ?
Maybe we can make the script more specific, or behave differently
I took the script from this post: AutoPlay Tabs - Any ideas? - #42 by Charlie_Bradford — it enables auto tabs switching. Actually, the very same topic probably has an answer to the issue: I found at least one dude with the same problem and he actually wrote a code that can potentially help me too!
