There can be several reasons why the hamburger navigation is not working on tablets and below for your Webflow website. Here are some possible causes and solutions to troubleshoot this issue:

  1. Responsive breakpoints: Webflow allows you to set different styles and layouts for different device breakpoints, such as desktop, tablet, and mobile. Make sure that you have set the correct styling for your hamburger navigation at the tablet breakpoint and below. Check if the navigation element is correctly hiding or showing at each breakpoint.

  2. Conflicting styles: Sometimes, conflicting CSS styles can affect the functionality of the hamburger navigation on tablets and below. Inspect the element using your browser's developer tools and check for any CSS styles that override or interfere with the default behavior of the hamburger navigation. You may need to modify or remove these conflicting styles to resolve the issue.

  3. Navigation menu structure: Verify that your navigation menu structure is correctly set up. Ensure that you have nested your navigation links within the appropriate classes or elements, such as a <nav> element or a div with a specific class. Double-check if you have properly connected your hamburger icon to the navigation menu using Webflow's interactions or custom code.

  4. Interactions and animations: If you have used interactions or animations on your hamburger navigation, review their settings to ensure they are functioning correctly. Make sure that the interactions are triggered properly and that animations are set up appropriately for tablets and below.

  5. JavaScript errors: Check for any JavaScript errors in your browser's console. These errors can interfere with the functionality of the hamburger navigation, preventing it from working correctly. Review any custom code you have added to your site and ensure that it is error-free and compatible with the devices you are testing.

  6. Device testing: Test your website on multiple tablets and mobile devices to see if the issue is specific to a particular device or browser. Different devices may have varying interpretations of CSS and JavaScript, which can affect the behavior of your hamburger navigation.

  7. Update Webflow and browser: Ensure that you are using the latest version of Webflow and that your browser is also up to date. Outdated software can sometimes cause compatibility issues that affect the functionality of your website's components.

These troubleshooting steps should help you identify and resolve the issue with your hamburger navigation not working on tablets and below for your Webflow website. Remember to thoroughly test your changes after making any adjustments to ensure that the issue is resolved across different devices and breakpoints.
