Can someone help me with the issue I'm having in Webflow where the scroll doesn't make it to the bottom of the page when using a navbar link?

If you're experiencing an issue in Webflow where the scroll doesn't make it to the bottom of the page when using a navbar link, here are some potential solutions:

  1. Navbar link target:
  • Make sure that the navbar link is targeting the correct section on the page. You can do this by selecting the navbar link, going to the settings panel, and checking the "Navbar Link Settings" section. Ensure that the link is pointing to the appropriate section or element on the page.
  1. Section height:
  • Check the height of the section you're linking to. If the section's height is set to 100vh (viewport height), it might not leave enough space for scrolling, especially if you have a sticky navbar. Consider adjusting the height of the section to leave some room for scrolling.
  1. Page height:
  • If your page content exceeds the height of the viewport, the browser will automatically provide a scroll bar. However, if the page height is less than the viewport height, the scroll bar won't appear. Ensure that your page content is longer than the viewport height to trigger the scroll bar.
  1. Navbar interaction:
  • Check if you have any interactions or page transitions applied to the navbar link. Sometimes, these interactions can interfere with the smooth scrolling behavior. Try disabling any interactions related to the navbar link and see if that solves the issue.
  1. Navbar position:
  • If you have a fixed or sticky navbar, it's possible that it's overlapping the section you're scrolling to. In this case, the browser may not properly scroll to the desired section. Adjust the position of the navbar, margins, or padding as necessary to ensure that it doesn't cover the section you're linking to.

Remember to publish your changes and test the website on multiple devices and browsers to ensure that the scrolling issue is resolved.
