To make an image in Webflow respond vertically to a paragraph without overlapping the text when resizing the browser window, you can follow these steps:

  1. Wrap the paragraph and the image in a container: Place both the paragraph and the image inside a container element. This will allow you to control their positioning and ensure they stay together.
<div class="container">  <p>Your paragraph text goes here.</p>  <img src="your-image.jpg" alt="Your Image"></div>
  1. Set the container to position:relative: Apply the CSS position:relative property to the container element. This will establish it as the relative positioning context for its child elements.
.container {  position: relative;}
  1. Position the image absolutely: Now you need to position the image absolutely within the container. This will allow it to overlap the paragraph without affecting the flow of the text.
.container img {  position: absolute;  top: 0;  right: 0;  /* Adjust the positioning values based on your design needs */}
  1. Apply appropriate margin/padding: To prevent the image from overlapping the text, you can add appropriate margin or padding to the paragraph element within the container. This will create space for the image without affecting the text.
.container p {  margin-top: 100px; /* Adjust the value based on your design needs */}
  1. Configure image responsiveness: Lastly, you'll want to configure the image to respond vertically as the browser window is resized. Webflow provides built-in responsive options that you can leverage. Select the image element and go to the "Settings" tab in the right sidebar. Set the image's sizing option to "Auto" and check the "Constrain proportions" checkbox. This will ensure the image maintains its aspect ratio and automatically adjusts its height as the width changes.

By following these steps, your image in Webflow will respond vertically to the paragraph without overlapping the text when resizing the browser window.
