What could be causing the issue where my Webflow site works perfectly on desktop but on mobile, everything above and below the current viewport turns white and becomes unresponsive?

This issue where a Webflow site appears to be working perfectly on desktop but on mobile, everything above and below the current viewport turns white and becomes unresponsive can be caused by a few different factors. Here are some possible reasons and solutions to address this problem:
1. Overflow on elements:
- Check if any elements on the page have overflow properties set to hidden. This can cause content to be cut off on mobile devices.
- To fix this, locate the element causing the issue and ensure that the overflow property is set to visible or auto.
2. Fixed or absolute positioned elements:
- Sometimes, fixed or absolute positioned elements can cause issues on mobile devices. These elements may appear fine on desktop, but on mobile, they might cover the entire screen.
- To resolve this, go through each fixed or absolute positioned element on the page and double-check their positioning properties. Adjust as necessary to ensure they are properly positioned on mobile.
3. Z-index conflicts:
- Z-index determines the stacking order of elements on a webpage. If there are conflicting z-index values, certain elements might not be visible or responsive on mobile.
- To fix this, analyze the z-index values of the affected elements and their parent containers. Make sure there are no conflicting values that may cause elements to overlap and become unresponsive.
4. Hidden interactions:
- Webflow interactions can be designed to hide or reveal elements based on certain triggers. If an interaction is causing elements to be hidden on mobile, it can result in a white space issue.
- Review the interactions applied to the elements above and below the current viewport on mobile. Adjust the triggers and actions to ensure that content remains visible and interactive.
5. Responsive design issues:
- If the site was not designed responsively or if responsive breakpoints were not properly set, it can lead to a poor mobile experience.
- Check the design settings and breakpoints in Webflow to ensure that the layout and elements are adjusting correctly on different screen sizes.
By addressing these common issues, you should be able to resolve the problem of elements turning white and becoming unresponsive on mobile devices. Remember to thoroughly test the site on various mobile devices to ensure that the issue is completely resolved.
