How can I make the text in the Questions of the Dropdown component in Webflow adapt fluidly when the viewport is resized, without spilling past the margin?

To make the text in the questions of the Dropdown component adapt fluidly when the viewport is resized without spilling past the margin, you can use Webflow's built-in responsive design features and CSS techniques.

Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Select the Dropdown component in the Webflow Designer.

2. In the Style panel on the right, click on the "Typography" section.

3. Set the font size for the question text using a relative unit like "vw" (viewport width) or "em" (relative to the parent element's font size). For example, you can start with a font size of 2vw.

4. To prevent the text from spilling outside the margin, ensure that the Dropdown component has sufficient margin or padding on the sides to create a cushion. Adjust the margin value as needed to create a visually pleasing layout.

5. Test the responsiveness by entering the Preview mode and resizing the viewport. The text should adapt fluidly and resize proportionally to the viewport width, remaining within the defined margin.

Additionally, you can utilize Webflow's breakpoints feature to fine-tune the text size at different screen sizes. To access breakpoints, click on the desktop, tablet, or mobile icons at the top of the Designer interface. Adjust the font size for each breakpoint to achieve optimal readability and layout consistency across different devices.

If you encounter any unexpected behavior, double-check that there are no conflicting styles or overrides affecting the Dropdown component or its parent elements. You can use the Styles panel to inspect and troubleshoot any conflicting styles.

Remember to preview your changes frequently and test on various devices to ensure a seamless experience for your website visitors.
