Why does the background scroll instead of the shopping cart on mobile portrait?

When the background scrolls instead of the shopping cart on mobile portrait in Webflow, it is likely due to a CSS property called overflow. By default, the body element in Webflow has overflow: auto; applied to it. This means that if the content within the body extends beyond the viewport, scrollbars will appear to allow users to scroll and view the rest of the content.

In the case of the example you provided, it seems that the shopping cart element is positioned outside the boundaries of the body element, causing it to be hidden when scrolling. The background, however, is still within the body element and therefore scrolls along with it.

How can this issue be resolved in Webflow?

To resolve the issue of the background scrolling instead of the shopping cart on mobile portrait in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

Select the element that contains the shopping cart, such as a div or a section.
In the right-hand panel, go to the Styles tab.
Under the Position section, choose a position value that will keep the shopping cart fixed within the viewport. For example, you can select Fixed if you want the shopping cart to be fixed at a specific position on the screen, regardless of scrolling.
Adjust the element's position as needed, using the position settings like top, right, bottom, and left.
Preview the changes in the Webflow Designer and make any necessary adjustments until the shopping cart stays fixed in the desired position while scrolling.

By modifying the position properties of the shopping cart element, you can ensure that it remains fixed in the viewport and does not get affected by the scrolling of the background.
