Why is the first mouse click trigger not activating the lottie 'mobile hamburger menu' on a phone, even though it works in mobile preview and on a desktop sized down to mobile size in Webflow?
There are a few possible reasons why the first mouse click trigger may not be activating the Lottie "mobile hamburger menu" on a phone, even though it works in mobile preview and on a desktop sized down to mobile size in Webflow:
Browser compatibility: Make sure to check if the browser you are using on your phone supports the CSS properties or JavaScript functions that are needed to activate the Lottie animation. Different browsers have different levels of support for various features, so it's possible that the particular browser on your phone doesn't fully support the animation trigger.
Touch events vs. mouse events: Phones and other touchscreen devices use touch events (such as tapping) rather than mouse events (such as clicking). If the trigger you have set up is based on a "click" event, it may not work as expected on a phone. You can try using the appropriate touch event, such as "tap" or "touchstart", to trigger the animation on mobile devices.
Timing issues: It's possible that there is a timing issue with the trigger that causes it not to activate the animation on the first mouse click. This could be due to the animation not being fully loaded or initialized when the first click occurs. You can try adding a delay or using a different event trigger to ensure that the animation is ready before the first click happens.
Viewport size: The issue may be related to the viewport size on your phone. Although you mentioned that the animation works when the desktop is sized down to mobile size, the actual viewport size on your phone may be different. Double-check if there are any CSS media queries or viewport-related settings that could be affecting the animation on smaller devices.
To debug and troubleshoot the issue further, you can try the following steps:
- Test the animation and trigger on different mobile devices and browsers to see if the problem is consistent across all of them.
- Check for any console errors or warnings that may give you insights into what's causing the issue.
- Simplify the trigger and animation setup to isolate the problem. Remove any unnecessary code or functionality and gradually add them back to see if anything conflicts with the trigger.
Overall, it's important to consider the specific nuances of mobile devices and browser compatibility when working with animations and triggers in Webflow.
