How can I fix the issue with my animation in Webflow where it always goes to the same part of the screen regardless of the Y value I input?

To fix the issue with your animation in Webflow where it always goes to the same part of the screen regardless of the Y value you input, you can follow these steps:

  1. Check the structure of your page: Ensure that the element you are animating is inside a parent container that has a position property set to "relative" or "absolute". This is important because animations in Webflow are relative to the nearest positioned ancestor.

  2. Set the position property: Double-check that the element you are animating has a position property set to "relative" or "absolute". This property allows you to control the position of the element within its parent container.

  3. Adjust the type of animation you are using: If you are currently using position-based animations, such as "Move" or "Move and Fade", try using transform-based animations instead. Transform-based animations are not affected by the position of the element's parent container and can be more flexible in terms of positioning.

  4. Use percentages for Y values: When specifying the Y value for your animation, consider using percentages instead of fixed pixel values. This will help create a responsive animation that adjusts based on the screen size.

  5. Test and adjust: Preview your animation and adjust the Y value until you achieve the desired position on the screen. Keep testing on different devices and screen sizes to ensure the animation remains consistent.

Remember to publish your changes before testing them on live sites. If the issue persists, you may want to seek assistance from the Webflow community or support team for specific troubleshooting on your project.
