To prevent a product name from pushing the entire container open on mobile in Webflow, you can use a combination of CSS and Webflow's design tools to control the appearance and behavior of your container on smaller screen sizes. Here's how you can achieve that:

  1. Use a fixed width or limit the maximum width: By setting a fixed width or limiting the maximum width of your container, you can prevent the product name from pushing the container open. This will ensure that the container retains its original layout and structure on mobile devices.

  2. Apply CSS overflow property: Add a CSS class to your container and set the overflow property to hidden. This will hide any content that exceeds the container's dimensions, preventing the product name from pushing the container open. To apply this in Webflow, follow these steps:

  • Select the container element.
  • Click on the "Add Class" button in the right sidebar.
  • Create a new class or select an existing one.
  • Click on the "All Properties" button.
  • In the "Overflow" section, choose "hidden" from the drop-down menu.
  1. Adjust padding and margins: If the product name is still causing unwanted pushing or overflowing of the container, you can adjust the padding and margins within your container to create more space for the content. By increasing the padding around the product name or adjusting the margins of surrounding elements, you can ensure that there is enough room for the content to fit without causing any layout issues.

  2. Utilize Webflow's responsive settings: Webflow provides built-in responsive settings that allow you to customize the appearance and behavior of your website on different screen sizes. You can leverage these settings to make specific adjustments for mobile devices, such as resizing elements, hiding or showing content, or changing the layout. By optimizing the design for mobile screens, you can prevent the product name from pushing the container open.

By implementing these techniques, you can effectively prevent a product name from pushing the entire container open on mobile devices in Webflow, ensuring a visually consistent and user-friendly experience across different screen sizes.
