Custom CSS in Webflow
Curious about where to put custom CSS in Webflow? Ilja explains it in the below video:
CSS
Copy
// Hiding the Loading Container only in Webflow
:is(.wf-design-mode, .w-editor) .loading-container {
display: none;
}Implementation
Loading Container
Use the [data-loading-container] attribute to indicate which element should act as the loader. The script will use this as the main wrapper for the loading animation.
Loading Words
Inside the [data-loading-words] attribute you can list as many words or phrases as you like, separated by commas. For example: [data-loading-words="Hello, Bonjour, स्वागत हे, Olá"].
Loading Words Target
Include one child element marked with [data-loading-words-target] and the script will inject each word into that element in sequence.
