To make smooth scrolling work with sticky elements in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a new section on your Webflow page where you want the sticky element to be placed.

  2. Inside the section, add a new Div block. This Div block will act as the container for your sticky element.

  3. Give the Div block a unique class name. This will allow you to target it specifically in the next steps.

  4. Add the content you want to be sticky inside the Div block. This can be text, images, or any other element you want to stick.

  5. With the Div block selected, go to the Navigator panel on the right-hand side of the Webflow interface. Locate the class you just assigned to the Div block and click on the cogwheel icon next to it.

  6. In the settings panel that opens on the right-hand side, check the "Position" option and set it to "Sticky". This will make the Div block stick to the top of the screen as the user scrolls.

  7. To enable smooth scrolling, you will need to add custom code to your Webflow project. Go to the "Project Settings" in the top-right corner of the Webflow interface.

  8. In the project settings, click on the "Custom Code" tab. In the "Head Code" section, add the following code:

<style>  html {    scroll-behavior: smooth;  }</style>

This CSS code sets the scroll behavior of the webpage to smooth, enabling smooth scrolling when navigating through the page.

  1. Finally, publish your Webflow project to see the smooth scrolling in action with your sticky element.

By following these steps, you'll be able to create a smooth scrolling effect with sticky elements in Webflow.
