Does Webflow have limitations when it comes to displaying the entire height of a div with fixed positioning, and can it be used to replicate an effect similar to the splash image on the Stanford site?

Yes, Webflow does have certain limitations when it comes to displaying the entire height of a div with fixed positioning. In Webflow, fixed positioning allows you to position an element relative to the browser window, rather than its parent element. This can be useful for creating sticky headers or elements that stay in place as the user scrolls.

However, there are a few considerations to keep in mind when using fixed positioning in Webflow:

1. Overflow: By default, elements with fixed positioning are clipped at the boundaries of their parent element. This means that the height of a fixed div may be limited by its closest parent element with a defined height and overflow property set to "hidden". To ensure that a fixed div displays its entire content, make sure that its parent element does not have a height or overflow property that restricts its size.

2. Relative positioning: When you apply fixed positioning to an element, it takes it out of the normal document flow. This means that other elements may no longer interact with the fixed element as expected. If you need elements to flow around a fixed div or interact with it in some way, you may need to use other positioning techniques or adjust the layout accordingly.

Regarding the Stanford splash image effect, Webflow can definitely be used to replicate a similar effect. The Stanford site has a full-screen background image with text overlaid on top. You can achieve a similar effect in Webflow using the following steps:

1. Create a section: Add a section element to your page and set its height to 100vh (viewport height) to make it fill the entire screen.

2. Add a background image: Set the background image for the section using the background settings in the Style panel. You can upload an image or use a URL. Adjust the background position, size, and repeat options to achieve the desired effect.

3. Overlay the text: Add a text element inside the section and position it as desired. You can adjust the typography, colors, and positioning in the Style panel.

4. Adjust scroll behavior: By default, Webflow elements scroll within their parent elements. To achieve the effect of the text overlay scrolling with the rest of the content, you may need to adjust the scroll behavior. You can do this with custom code or by using interactions in Webflow to create scroll animations.

Remember to optimize the image size and loading for better performance. You can use Webflow's built-in image optimization features or tools like TinyPNG before uploading the image.

Overall, while Webflow does have some limitations with fixed positioning, it still provides ample flexibility and functionality to create a wide range of design effects, including replicating the Stanford splash image effect.
