There could be a few reasons why your sticky position element is not working correctly on your Webflow site. Here are some possible reasons and solutions:

  1. Incorrect element structure:
  • Ensure that the parent container of the sticky element has a defined height. Sticky elements need a defined height in order to work properly.
  1. z-index conflict:
  • Check if there are any other elements on the page with a higher z-index that might be overlapping with the sticky element. If that's the case, try adjusting the z-index to ensure that the sticky element is brought to the front.
  1. CSS overflow property:
  • If the parent container of the sticky element has the CSS overflow property set to hidden or auto, it can prevent the sticky element from functioning properly. Consider adjusting the overflow property.
  1. Compatibility with older browsers:
  • Sticky position is a relatively newer feature in CSS, so it may not work correctly in older browsers. Make sure you are testing your site in compatible browsers and consider using a polyfill to add support for older browsers.
  1. Code conflicts or custom code:
  • If you have added custom code or scripts to your site, there might be a conflict that is affecting the sticky element. Try removing or debugging any custom code to see if it resolves the issue.

Remember to preview your website in different browsers to ensure cross-browser compatibility. If the issue persists, you can seek help from the Webflow community or contact Webflow support for further assistance.
