To achieve the desired effect of having the ball's overflow hidden without the whole site stopping from scrolling when published on Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a Div Block: Start by creating a Div Block in the desired section of your Webflow project where you want the ball to be displayed.

  2. Add a Class to the Div Block: Give the Div Block a class name for easy styling and targeting. You can do this by selecting the Div Block, going to the right-hand panel, and clicking on the "Add Class" button. Enter a name for your class.

  3. Set the Div Block's Position: With the Div Block selected, go to the left-hand panel and navigate to the Position section. Set the position to "Relative" to ensure that the Div Block stays within its container.

  4. Add a Ball Element: Within the Div Block, add an element (like a Circle or a Div) that represents your ball. This will be the element that you want to hide the overflow for.

  5. Apply Styling to the Ball Element: With the ball element selected, use the right-hand panel to apply styling adjustments to match your desired effect. You can set the background color, size, position, etc.

  6. Set the Ball Element's Position: Similar to step #3, set the position of the ball element to "Absolute." You can do this from the left-hand panel. This will allow you to freely position the ball element within the Div Block.

  7. Adjust the Div Block's Height: To prevent the rest of the site from stopping scrolling when the ball's overflow is hidden, you need to make sure the Div Block has a height set. You can manually adjust the height by selecting the Div Block and modifying the height value in the right-hand panel.

  8. Enable Overflow Hidden: Finally, to hide the overflow of the ball element, select the Div Block and go to the right-hand panel. Under the Overflow section, choose "Hidden." This will prevent the ball from overflowing outside of the Div Block and being visible outside of its bounds.

By following these steps, you'll be able to achieve the desired effect of having the ball's overflow hidden without stopping the whole site from scrolling when published on Webflow.
