Is there a reason why my sections with position sticky are not working correctly on mobile in Webflow?
There could be several reasons why the position sticky property is not working correctly on mobile in Webflow. Here are a few possible explanations and solutions:
Viewport height (vh) issue: By default, Webflow sets the height of the body element to 100vh (viewport height) to allow for full-screen layouts. However, on some mobile devices, the browser's address bar may be visible, which reduces the available viewport height. This can cause the sticky element to appear to be stuck or not work as intended. To fix this, you can try setting the body height to 100% instead of 100vh.
Overlapping elements: If there are other overlapping elements on the page, it may affect the behavior of the sticky element. Make sure there are no elements covering the sticky element or causing it to become invisible. Additionally, check for any CSS conflicts or z-index issues that may be interfering with the sticky element.
Child element properties: Check the properties of the child elements within the sticky section. Make sure they do not have properties like position: fixed or position: absolute, as this can prevent the sticky behavior from working correctly.
Custom code conflicts: If you have added any custom code to your Webflow project, it's possible that there may be conflicts with the sticky behavior. Review your custom code and make sure it does not interfere with the sticky element.
Browser compatibility: Different mobile browsers may have varying levels of support for the position sticky property. Test your website on multiple devices and browsers to ensure that the issue is not specific to a particular browser.
To summarize, here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve issues with position sticky not working correctly on mobile in Webflow:
- Check for viewport height (vh) issues and consider using body height: 100% instead of 100vh.
- Ensure there are no overlapping elements or CSS conflicts that may interfere with the sticky behavior.
- Verify that child elements within the sticky section do not have conflicting position properties.
- Review any custom code for potential conflicts with the sticky behavior.
- Test your website on multiple devices and browsers to rule out browser compatibility issues.
