What is the issue with the fixed modal window in the Webflow page?

Published on

The issue with the fixed modal window in a Webflow page occurs when the modal window is set to a fixed position and the content inside the window is longer than the height of the viewport. This causes the content to overflow outside the modal window, making it inaccessible or difficult to read for the user.

To address this issue, you need to apply some additional styling and settings to the modal window to ensure proper display and scroll functionality. Here's how you can fix the issue with the fixed modal window in Webflow:

  1. Set a max-height for the modal window: By setting a max-height value for the modal window, you can prevent the content from overflowing outside the window. You can adjust the max-height value based on the desired height for the modal window.

  2. Enable vertical scrolling: To allow users to scroll within the modal window if the content overflows, you need to enable vertical scrolling. You can achieve this by setting the "overflow-y" property of the modal window to "scroll". This will add a vertical scrollbar to the modal window, allowing users to scroll through the content.

  3. Adjust the content inside the modal window: If the content inside the modal window still overflows after applying the above steps, you may need to adjust the content itself. This can be done by increasing the spacing between elements, reducing the font size, or using other layout techniques to better accommodate the content within the modal window.

By applying these fixes, you can ensure that the fixed modal window in your Webflow page displays properly and allows users to access and read all the content within it.
