A persistent overflow issue in Webflow is often caused by elements extending beyond their container. Here’s how to diagnose and fix it on your "Work - Abroad" page.
1. Check for Overflowing Elements
- Enable the X-ray mode (W key in Webflow Designer) to see if any element extends beyond the viewport.
- Inspect the Phone Asset and surrounding sections to see if any width settings exceed 100% or if elements have negative margins.
2. Adjust Width and Overflow Settings
- Select the Phone Asset and check its Width settings. Try setting it to
max-width: 100%
. - Ensure the parent container is not set to
overflow: visible
. Set it to overflow: hidden
if needed.
3. Fix Negative Margins and Unintended Scaling
- Look at Flexbox/Grid settings—sometimes
flex-grow
or min-width
values create unexpected overflows. - If custom CSS is applied, check for
transform: scale()
or translateX()
values that move the element off the screen.
4. Test in Different Viewports
- Switch to Webflow’s mobile view and inspect the asset’s behavior.
- If it only happens on smaller screens, adjust relative positioning or flex settings.
- Open Preview Mode and resize the screen to check responsiveness.
- Use Chrome DevTools (F12 → Elements tab → Inspect the container) to find misplaced width or positioning rules.
Summary
Ensure the Phone Asset and parent containers are constrained within the viewport. Use overflow: hidden
, check flex/grid settings, and adjust max-width
to prevent elements from breaking outside their container. Resize in Webflow’s preview and inspect using DevTools.
