Yes, Webflow provides the flexibility to disable or lock scroll on desktop and mobile devices after a page loads. This can be achieved through custom code or using built-in interactions within the Webflow platform. Here's how you can do it:
- Using custom code:
- In the Webflow Designer, go to the page where you want to disable scroll.
- Click on the "Dashboard" tab on the top-left corner.
- Select the "Custom Code" option.
- In the "Head Code" section, paste the following CSS code:
```css ``` - Click on the "Save Changes" button to apply the code.
- This code will disable scroll on both desktop and mobile devices. To re-enable scroll, you can remove or comment out the CSS code.
- Using built-in interactions:
- In the Webflow Designer, select the element on your page where you want to disable scroll.
- Go to the "Interactions" panel on the right side.
- Click on the plus icon (+) to create a new interaction.
- Choose the trigger event "Page Load".
- Add an action to the interaction by clicking on the plus icon (+) under "Actions".
- Select the "Toggle Overflow" action from the list.
- Set the "Overflow" property to "Hidden".
- Specify the delay duration for how long you want to disable scroll.
- Save the interaction settings.
- This interaction will disable scroll on the selected element for the specified duration after page load.
Remember to test and preview your changes to ensure the desired scroll behavior on both desktop and mobile devices. Additionally, don't forget to consider the impact of disabling scroll on user experience, as it may affect the usability and accessibility of your website.
