To fix the issue where the transparent Navbar with a dropdown is not pushing down the rest of the page content on mobile in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Add a class to the Navbar element: Select the Navbar element on your Webflow canvas and navigate to the Styles panel. Add a class to the Navbar element by clicking on the class field and entering a name for the class.

  2. Set the Navbar to have relative positioning: In the Styles panel, locate the Position section and set the position of the Navbar to relative. This will ensure that the dropdown content will push down the rest of the page content.

  3. Add a class to the Dropdown menu: Select the Dropdown element within the Navbar and add a class to it using the same process as step 1. Give it a unique class name to target it specifically.

  4. Set the Dropdown container's position to absolute: In the Styles panel, locate the Position section for the Dropdown container. Set its position to absolute, which allows it to overlay the rest of the content when opened.

  5. Adjust the top positioning of the Dropdown container: Still in the Styles panel, scroll down to the Top section in the Position section. Specify the value for the top position to ensure that the dropdown appears in the desired location. You may need to experiment with different values to achieve the desired result.

  6. Set a z-index for the Dropdown container: In the Styles panel, locate the Layer section and set a higher value for the z-index of the Dropdown container. This ensures that the dropdown content appears above the rest of the page content.

  7. Test responsiveness: Preview your website in the Webflow Designer, or publish it to a staging environment and test it on different mobile devices to ensure that the dropdown pushes down the page content as expected.

By following these steps, you should be able to fix the issue where the transparent Navbar with a dropdown is not pushing down the rest of the page content on mobile in Webflow.
