What are the optimal settings in Webflow to enable scrolling within a div block?

To enable scrolling within a div block in Webflow, you need to adjust its overflow settings and possibly its dimensions. Here's how to do it:

1. Set a Fixed Height or Width

• Select the div block you want to enable scrolling for.
• In the Style panel, set a fixed height (e.g., 300px) and/or a fixed width if necessary.
• This ensures the content inside the div can overflow when it exceeds the container size.

2. Adjust Overflow Settings

• In the Style panel, find the Overflow section under the Layout category.
• Choose one of the following:
• Scroll: Always displays a scrollbar when content exceeds the div’s size.
• Auto: Displays a scrollbar only when content overflows.
• Hidden: Prevents scrolling and hides overflow content.
• Visible: Shows all content without scrolling.
• For scrolling within the div, use Auto or Scroll.

3. Enable Vertical or Horizontal Scrolling (if needed)

• To allow vertical scrolling, set the height and set Overflow: Auto or Scroll.
• To allow horizontal scrolling, set a width and optionally white-space: nowrap for text.
• Use Overflow: Auto or Scroll to ensure content can scroll horizontally.

4. Test Responsiveness

• Preview the site in Webflow and manually scroll within the div.
• Adjust the div size for different breakpoints if necessary.

5. Use Custom Scroll Styles (Optional)

• Webflow does not natively offer custom scrollbars, but you can add CSS in Custom Code to style them.
• Example: Add scroll-behavior: smooth; for smoother scrolling.

Summary

To enable scrolling within a div block in Webflow, set a fixed height or width, adjust the overflow settings to Auto or Scroll, and test responsiveness. You can also customize scrolling behavior using CSS if needed.
