To make a long navbar in Webflow scroll all the way down, even if the page's content is short, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Create a div block: Start by adding a div block to your navbar, which will hold your navigation links.

  2. Set the height: Set the height of the div block to the desired height for your navbar. For instance, you can set it to 100px or any other value that suits your design.

  3. Enable overflow: Next, enable the overflow property for the div block. This will allow the content of the navbar to be scrollable when it exceeds the height of the div.

  • Select the div block.
  • Go to the Styles panel on the right.
  • Under the Box section, click on the overflow dropdown and select "scroll".
  1. Add content: Add your navigation links or any other content you want to display in the navbar. You can style them as needed.

  2. Adjust the rest of the navbar: After setting up the scrolling div, you may need to adjust other elements of your navbar, such as the logo or additional layers, to make sure they align correctly.

  3. Preview and optimize: Preview your page and test the scrollbar functionality to ensure it works as expected. Also, make sure to optimize your navbar for responsive layouts, so it looks and behaves well on different devices.

By following these steps, you can create a long navbar that scrolls all the way down, regardless of the page's content height.

Additional tips:

  • Consider using an alternate design approach if a long navbar feels overwhelming or distracting for your website visitors.
  • Check the navbar's visibility and ensure it remains accessible and functional across different screen sizes.
  • Use appropriate contrasting colors and font sizes for a clear and readable navbar.
