Hidden Default Tab

Webflow's Tabs component supports a "No tab" default state, however once a tab is clicked, you cannot return to that "No tab" state- even using custom code.

However, you can achieve this same effect with a "hidden" tab, which is set as the default, and which can be re-selected later using custom code.

How it works

• You create a hidden tab, optionally with content
• You can set it as the default, or any other
• A "close" button or trigger executes javascript that "clicks" the hidden tab

Code

The code is very simply, here is a jQuery version which you would place in the before /body section.
