Why does applying the animation (Scale) to the element (Foggy-inf) in my Webflow test site result in a horizontal scroll, while removing the animation fixes the issue?
When applying the animation (Scale) to the element (Foggy-inf) in your Webflow test site, you may notice that it results in a horizontal scroll. This can be explained by the following factors:
Element size after scaling: The Scale animation can modify the size of the element that it is applied to. If the scaling causes the element to exceed the width of its parent container, it will trigger a horizontal scroll to accommodate the increased size.
Overflow settings: By default, Webflow sets the overflow property of the parent container to "auto". This means that if the child element grows larger than its container, scrollbars will be added to allow users to scroll horizontally.
To resolve the horizontal scroll issue, you can take the following steps:
Check the dimensions of the element: Inspect the element that has the Scale animation applied to it and make sure its dimensions (width and height) do not exceed the size of its parent container. Adjusting the dimensions accordingly will prevent the horizontal scroll.
Adjust overflow settings: If resizing the element is not an option, you can modify the overflow property of the parent container. Set it to "hidden" if you want to prevent the horizontal scroll by clipping any overflowing content. Alternatively, you can set it to "scroll" if you want to display scrollbars for users to navigate horizontally.
Consider alternative animation options: If the Scale animation is causing persistent issues with horizontal scrolling, you may want to explore alternative animation options that do not affect the element's size. Transforms like translate, rotate, and skew can provide visual effects without impacting the element's dimensions.
By addressing the size, dimensions, and overflow settings of elements with animation applied, you can avoid the horizontal scroll issue in your Webflow test site.
