How to Fix Text Not Showing Up on Safari When Using a Slider in Webflow

If you're experiencing the issue of text not showing up on Safari when using a slider in Webflow, there are a few potential solutions you can try:

  1. Check the font-family: Safari may have trouble rendering certain fonts. Make sure the font you're using is supported by Safari, or consider using a more widely supported font to ensure cross-browser compatibility.

  2. Inspect the slider element: Use the web inspector tool in Safari to check if the text is present in the HTML markup. If the text is missing, it could indicate a problem with your slider setup or content binding.

  3. Adjust the z-index: Sometimes, text elements within a slider may be hidden behind other elements due to the z-index property. Ensure that the text elements within the slider have a higher z-index than other overlapping elements on the page.

  4. Check for conflicting CSS styles: Conflicting CSS styles can cause unexpected behavior in different browsers. Review the CSS styles applied to the slider and text elements to identify any conflicting styles that could be affecting their visibility on Safari.

  5. Disable hardware acceleration: Safari's hardware acceleration sometimes causes rendering issues. Try disabling hardware acceleration for the slider element by applying the -webkit-transform-style: flat; CSS property to the slider or its parent container.

  6. Test on different Safari versions: Different versions of Safari may have varying compatibility. Test your website on different versions to see if the same issue persists across all of them. If the problem is specific to a particular version, it could be a Safari bug that needs to be reported.

  7. Consider alternative solutions: If the above steps don't resolve the issue, you may need to consider using alternative slider solutions or implementing custom code to achieve the desired functionality in a cross-browser compatible way.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue of text not showing up on Safari when using a slider in Webflow.
