To make a section in Webflow stop at the top of the screen when scrolling, you can use the "sticky" position property in CSS. Here's how you can achieve this effect:

  1. Select the section you want to make sticky by clicking on it in the Webflow Designer.
  2. In the Style panel, click on the "+" icon in the Position section to add a new position property.
  3. Choose "Sticky" from the dropdown menu.
  4. Adjust the top, right, bottom, and left values as needed to position the sticky section correctly.
  5. Customize the appearance of the sticky section by modifying its styling attributes like background color, typography, or padding.

By making a section sticky, it will remain fixed at the top of the screen as the user scrolls down the page. This is a great technique to create navigation bars, headers, or any other element that you want to stay visible at all times.

Additional tips:

  • Make sure the section you want to make sticky is not nested within any other elements with overflow set to "hidden". Otherwise, the sticky effect may not work as expected.
  • If needed, you can control the scroll behavior and appearance of the sticky section by using custom CSS or Webflow's interactions and animations features.
  • Test your design on different screen sizes to ensure that the sticky section remains usable and visually appealing across devices.

By following these steps, you'll be able to create a section in Webflow that stops at the top of the screen when scrolling, improving user experience and making important information always accessible.

Example code:

.sticky-section {  position: sticky;  top: 0;  /* Additional custom styles */  background-color: #ffffff;  color: #333333;  padding: 20px;}
