If you're encountering an issue where the slider in Webflow is still allowing scrolling past the available slides even when the "Hide at each end" option is selected, there are a few steps you can take to resolve the problem:

  1. Check the element settings: Start by making sure that you have properly set up the slider component in Webflow. Double-check the element settings and ensure that you have enabled the "Hide at each end" option. This option should restrict scrolling past the first and last slides.

  2. Review slide widths: A common reason for this issue is that the individual slides within the slider may have wider widths than the container. This can create extra space on either end of the slider, allowing scrolling. Make sure that the width of the individual slides matches or is less than the container's width to prevent this problem.

  3. Adjust container sizing: Another factor that can contribute to this issue is incorrect container sizing. Check the dimensions of the slider container element and ensure that it properly encapsulates all the slides. If the container is too wide, it can allow scrolling past the available slides. Adjust the container's width to match the total width of the slides.

  4. Consider element hierarchy: In some cases, the issue might be related to the hierarchy of elements within your project. Verify that the slider and its associated elements (such as masks or containers) are nested correctly and organized in the proper order. An improperly nested element can disrupt the desired behavior of the slider component.

  5. Review custom code or interactions: If you have added any custom code or interactions to your project, they could potentially interfere with the functionality of the slider. Check for any conflicting code or interactions that may override the default behavior of the slider and modify it accordingly.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue where the slider in Webflow still allows scrolling past the available slides, even when the "Hide at each end" option is selected.
