To fix the issue of a navbar overlapping a modal popup in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

Check the z-index: The z-index property controls the stacking order of elements on a webpage. In this case, the navbar should have a higher z-index value than the modal popup to ensure that it appears on top. You can increase the z-index value of the navbar by going to the Style panel and setting a higher value, such as 1000.
Adjust position and overflow properties: The position property and overflow property can also affect how elements are displayed. Make sure the navbar has a position value of relative or fixed, and the modal popup has a position value of absolute. Additionally, set the overflow property of the modal popup's parent container to auto or visible to prevent the content from being hidden.
Use the Webflow Navbar component: If you're using the built-in Navbar component in Webflow, it's less likely to overlap other elements by default. Make sure you're using the Navbar component correctly and that it's positioned properly on your page.
Customize the modal popup: If you're using a custom modal popup, consider tweaking its settings to ensure it works well with the navbar. You can try adjusting the dimensions, position, or styling of the modal popup to prevent any overlapping issues.
Test and adjust: After implementing these changes, preview your website to see if the issue has been resolved. If the navbar and modal popup still overlap, double-check the z-index, position, and overflow properties to make sure they are set correctly.

By following these steps, you should be able to fix the issue of a navbar overlapping a modal popup in Webflow. Remember to test your changes across different devices and browsers to ensure a consistent user experience.
