Why/Use Cases

-          Show or hide elements on your site based on your visitors’ device, OS, screen orientation, browser, and more.

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

Some elements on your site may not make sense to certain visitors, which is why you can show or hide them based on the relevant criteria: browser, operating system, device type, etc.

For example, on iOS you might want to show an App Store button, while on Android you’d want a Play Store button. You might want to hide both of them on desktop, show a Microsoft Store link on Windows only, and so on.

This guide will help you hide or show elements on your website based on whether your visitors are using tablets or not.

To automatically hide or show elements to your tablet visitors, 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

The only attribute we’re going to use for this functionality is ms-code-device-show. Add the attribute to whatever you want to apply display conditions to and depending on the use case, only the values will differ.

For example, ms-code-device-show=”tablet” will only display the element on tablet devices, while ms-code-device-show=”desktop” will only display it on desktops.

To achieve the exact opposite, simply add an exclamation point before the value, like so:

· ms-code-device-show”!tablet” – this will hide the element on tablet and display it everywhere else

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

· ms-code-device-show=”desktop&tablet” – this will only display the element on desktops and tablets

· ms-code-device-show=”windows|linux” – this will only display the element on either Windows or Linux only

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.
