Is there a way to prevent the horizontal drag behavior on a fixed footer in Webflow, specifically on Safari?
Yes, there is a way to prevent the horizontal drag behavior on a fixed footer in Webflow, specifically on Safari. Follow these steps:
- Open your Webflow project and navigate to the page where you want to prevent the horizontal drag behavior on the fixed footer.
- Select the footer element that you want to fix at the bottom of the page.
- Go to the Styles panel on the right-hand side.
- Click on the "Position" dropdown menu and select "Fixed".
- With the footer element still selected, click on the "Custom Code" button in the top-right corner of the Styles panel.
- In the Custom Code dialog box, go to the "Head" tab.
- Paste the following CSS code snippet inside the "Head" tag:
<style> body { overflow-x: hidden; }</style>
- Click on the "Save" button to save the changes.
- Publish your site and test it on Safari. The horizontal drag behavior on the fixed footer should now be prevented.
By adding the CSS code snippet to the head of your Webflow project, you are setting the overflow-x
property of the body
element to hidden
. This hides any horizontal scrollbar and prevents users from dragging the page horizontally, thus preventing the horizontal drag behavior on the fixed footer.
This solution specifically targets Safari as it is a known issue in that browser. Other browsers may handle the fixed footer differently, so it's important to test your site across multiple browsers to ensure the desired behavior is achieved.
Note: If you have other elements that extend beyond the width of the page, you might need to adjust your layout to ensure everything fits within the viewport without the need for horizontal scrolling.
