To create fixed backgrounds on mobile devices in Webflow without using JavaScript, you can leverage CSS techniques. Here's a step-by-step solution:

  1. Select the element containing the background image: Identify the element in which you want to set a fixed background.

  2. Add a custom CSS class: Give the element a custom CSS class by navigating to the element's settings panel and scrolling down to the "Class" section.

  3. Set the element's position to relative: In the class settings, scroll down to the "Position" section and choose "Relative." This step ensures that the element containing the background image stays in its normal position and doesn't interfere with the fixed background effect.

  4. Set the background image using CSS: In the same class settings, scroll down to the "Background" section. Here, you can set the background image either through a URL or by selecting an image from your Webflow assets library. Adjust the background properties (e.g., position, size, repeat, attachment) to achieve the desired effect.

  5. Add custom CSS to make the background fixed on mobile devices: To achieve the fixed background effect on mobile devices, you'll need to add custom CSS to your project. Navigate to the "Custom Code" tab in the project settings and choose the "Head Code" section. In this section, write the following custom CSS to make the background fixed on mobile devices:

@media (max-width: 767px) {  .your-custom-class {    background-attachment: fixed;  }}

Replace ".your-custom-class" with the name of the class you assigned to the element in step 2. This CSS code specifically targets devices with a maximum width of 767 pixels (i.e., mobile devices) and sets the background attachment property to "fixed."

  1. Publish your site: After adding the custom CSS, publish your site to make the changes live.

By following these steps, you can create fixed backgrounds on mobile devices in Webflow without using JavaScript. Enjoy the seamless scrolling experience!
