If your background image is going beyond the fixed position of 100vh in Webflow, there are a few possible causes to consider:

Incorrect positioning: Check the positioning of your background image. If it is set to "absolute" or "relative" instead of "fixed", it may not stay within the fixed position of 100vh. To fix this, select the background image element and go to the "position" dropdown in the Style panel. Set it to "fixed".
Missing container element: Make sure you have a properly set up container element for your background image. Without a container, the image may not behave as expected. Create a div block and place your background image within it. Set the div block to "position: fixed" and "width: 100%".
Incorrect sizing: Double-check the sizing of your background image. If it is larger than the viewport height (100vh), it will naturally extend beyond the fixed position. Adjust the dimensions of the image to match or be smaller than the viewport.
Overlapping elements: There may be other elements on your web page that are overlapping with the background image, causing it to appear beyond the fixed position. Inspect the layout of your page and ensure that no elements are overlapping or taking up excessive space.
Z-index conflicts: Z-index determines the vertical stacking order of elements on a web page. If there are other elements with a higher z-index value than the background image, they may be causing it to appear beyond the fixed position. Adjust the z-index of the background image to be higher than any overlapping elements.

Remember to preview and test your changes after making adjustments to ensure that the background image stays within the fixed position of 100vh in Webflow.
