Why is the nav bar disappearing on the "Project 3" page when it is set to "sticky" in Webflow?

When the nav bar is set to "sticky" in Webflow, it should remain fixed at the top of the page even as the user scrolls down. However, if the nav bar is disappearing on the "Project 3" page, there are a few potential reasons for this issue:

  1. Z-index conflict: Check if there are any other elements on the page that have a higher z-index value than the nav bar. If there are, they might be overlapping with the nav bar and causing it to disappear.

  2. Layering issue: Ensure that the nav bar is placed on top of all other elements on the page. In Webflow, you can adjust the layering order of elements through the Navigator panel. Make sure the nav bar is positioned above all other elements on the page.

  3. Positioning settings: Verify that the nav bar's positioning settings are properly configured. In the Style panel, under the Position section, make sure the nav bar has a position of "sticky" and that it is set to stick to the top of the page. Additionally, ensure that the nav bar's width is set to 100% so that it spans the entire width of the viewport.

  4. Scrolling behavior: Double-check the behavior of the "Project 3" page. If there are any interactions or scroll-based animations applied to the page, they might be conflicting with the sticky positioning of the nav bar. Remove or adjust any conflicting interactions to resolve this issue.

By addressing these potential causes, you should be able to troubleshoot why the nav bar is disappearing on the "Project 3" page when it is set to "sticky" in Webflow.
