Column > "Code Block" element (search "Code" in the element panel). 3. Paste this ENTIRE file's contents into the Code Block. 4. If the at the bottom doesn't run (some Avada/cache setups strip inline scripts from Code Blocks), move just the ... portion into Avada > Theme Options > Advanced > Custom CSS/JS, "Scripts" > "Footer Scripts" field instead, and leave the HTML/CSS in the Code Block. 5. Icons use Font Awesome classes (already loaded by Avada). Swap fas fa-XXX for any icon in Avada's icon picker reference. BEHAVIOR: - The whole block fades/slides in once, the first time it scrolls into view (IntersectionObserver, fires once — doesn't re-trigger on scroll up/down). - Steps still page through 2-at-a-time via the arrow buttons, same as before. 5 steps means the last page shows just 1 item — that's expected/fine. - On every arrow click: the connecting dashed line "draws itself" across the gap (left-to-right on Next, right-to-left on Prev), and the icon + text cards fade/slide in right after, staggered slightly so it reads as traveling from one section into the next. TO CUSTOMIZE: - Colors: --jt-accent below (currently the rose/red from the reference). - Steps per page: PER_PAGE constant in the script (currently 2). - Icon per step: the data-icon attribute on each .jt-step. - Content: edit the text inside each .jt-step block directly. Add/remove whole .jt-step blocks freely — pagination re-calculates automatically. --> .jt-wrap { --jt-accent: #c0455a; --jt-line: #d7d7d7; --jt-text: #2b2b2b; --jt-muted: #4a4a4a; max-width: 1100px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 20px 60px; position: relative; font-family: inherit; opacity: 0; transform: translateY(24px); transition: opacity 0.7s ease, transform 0.7s ease; } .jt-wrap.jt-visible { opacity: 1; transform: translateY(0); } .jt-headline { text-align: center; color: var(--jt-accent); font-weight: 700; font-size: 34px; line-height: 1.25; margin: 0 0 40px; } .jt-track-row { position: relative; display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr); align-items: center; margin-bottom: 34px; } .jt-track-row::before { content: ""; position: absolute; left: 30px; right: 30px; top: 30px; border-top: 2px dashed var(--jt-line); z-index: 0; animation-duration: 0.7s; animation-timing-function: ease-out; animation-fill-mode: both; } .jt-dir-next .jt-track-row::before { animation-name: jt-line-draw-forward; } .jt-dir-prev .jt-track-row::before { animation-name: jt-line-draw-back; } @keyframes jt-line-draw-forward { from { clip-path: inset(0 100% 0 0); } to { clip-path: inset(0 0 0 0); } } @keyframes jt-line-draw-back { from { clip-path: inset(0 0 0 100%); } to { clip-path: inset(0 0 0 0); } } .jt-icon { position: relative; z-index: 1; width: 60px; height: 60px; border-radius: 50%; background: var(--jt-accent); color: #fff; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; font-size: 22px; justify-self: start; animation-duration: 0.5s; animation-timing-function: ease-out; animation-fill-mode: both; animation-delay: 0.15s; /* lets the line lead, icons follow */ } .jt-dir-next .jt-icon { animation-name: jt-fade-slide-in-right; } .jt-dir-prev .jt-icon { animation-name: jt-fade-slide-in-left; } .jt-track-row .jt-icon:nth-child(2) { animation-delay: 0.25s; } @keyframes jt-fade-slide-in-right { from { opacity: 0; transform: translateX(24px); } to { opacity: 1; transform: translateX(0); } } @keyframes jt-fade-slide-in-left { from { opacity: 0; transform: translateX(-24px); } to { opacity: 1; transform: translateX(0); } } .jt-content-row { display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr); gap: 60px; } .jt-content-row > .jt-step { animation-duration: 0.5s; animation-timing-function: ease-out; animation-fill-mode: both; animation-delay: 0.2s; /* just behind the icons */ } .jt-dir-next .jt-content-row > .jt-step { animation-name: jt-fade-slide-in-right; } .jt-dir-prev .jt-content-row > .jt-step { animation-name: jt-fade-slide-in-left; } .jt-content-row > .jt-step:nth-child(2) { animation-delay: 0.3s; } .jt-step-label { color: var(--jt-accent); font-weight: 700; font-size: 14px; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.03em; margin: 0 0 4px; } .jt-step h3 { color: var(--jt-text); font-weight: 700; font-size: 22px; margin: 0 0 14px; } .jt-step p { color: var(--jt-muted); font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0 0 12px; } .jt-step ul { margin: 0; padding-left: 20px; color: var(--jt-muted); font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; } .jt-nav { position: absolute; top: 40px; transform: translateY(-50%); background: none; border: none; cursor: pointer; color: #9a9a9a; font-size: 30px; line-height: 1; padding: 4px 8px; } .jt-nav:hover { color: var(--jt-accent); } .jt-nav:disabled { opacity: 0.3; cursor: default; } .jt-nav[data-dir="prev"] { left: 0; } .jt-nav[data-dir="next"] { right: 0; } @media (max-width: 780px) { .jt-wrap { padding: 20px 44px; } .jt-headline { font-size: 26px; } .jt-track-row, .jt-content-row { grid-template-columns: 1fr; } .jt-track-row::before { display: none; } .jt-content-row { gap: 24px; } }
