Why/Use Cases

-          Set display conditions for elements on your site based on your visitors’ device, OS, screen orientation, browser, and more.

Automatically hiding/showing elements to Chrome visitors on a Webflow site

Not every element on your site is relevant to all users, so you can configure display conditions based on OS, browser, or device type.

For example, visitors using iOS devices might see an App Store button, while Android users see a Play Store button. On desktops, you could hide both buttons and instead provide an App Store link for macOS users and a Microsoft Store link for Windows users.

This guide will walk you through setting up elements on your site that appear only on Chrome browsers.

To automatically hide or show elements to your Chrome users, we’re going to use MemberScript #120 – Show/Hide Element Based On Device, OS, or Browser. Follow the link to get the code you’ll need to add to your page and watch a video tutorial on how to set everything up.

Setting it up

To show an element on Chrome browsers only, we need to use the ms-code-device-show attribute. Simply add it to the element you want to appear only on Chrome and use “chrome” as the value:

· ms-code-device-show=”chrome”

To hide it only from Chrome users and show it to everyone running other browsers like Firefox or Safari, just add an exclamation point before the value, like so:

· ms-code-device-show”!chrome”

You can also combine multiple conditions using & for “and” and | (vertical line, not capital “i”) for “or,” like so:

· ms-code-device-show=”chrome&macos” – this will only display the element on Chrome browsers running on macOS devices

· ms-code-device-show=”chrome|safari” – this will only display the element on either Chrome or Safari

For a full list of available values, see our cloneable page.

Making it work

Now that you’ve got everything set up in Webflow, all you need to do is add the MemberScript #120 custom code to your page (or sitewide), before the closing body tag.

Conclusion

That’s everything, you can now go ahead and test the show/hide functionality on your live site.
