What is causing the navigation menu to not appear on top in the vertical view on mobile devices in Webflow compared to tablet and horizontal mobile views?

There can be a few different reasons why the navigation menu might not be appearing on top in the vertical view on mobile devices in Webflow compared to tablet and horizontal mobile views. Here are a few potential issues to consider:

1. CSS Positioning: The navigation menu might not be set to the correct CSS positioning property. By default, elements in Webflow are set to position: static, which means they will follow the normal flow of the document. In order for the navigation menu to appear on top, it needs to have a position property set to either position: relative, position: absolute, or position: fixed. Depending on the layout and structure of your site, different positioning properties may be required.

2. Z-index: The z-index property determines the stacking order of elements on the page. If other elements on your website have a higher z-index value than the navigation menu, they will appear on top of it, causing it to be hidden. You can try increasing the z-index value of the navigation menu to make sure it appears above other elements.

3. Hiding the Menu: It's possible that the navigation menu is being intentionally hidden in the vertical view on mobile devices due to limited screen space. Some websites use a hamburger menu icon, which, when clicked, reveals the full navigation menu. Make sure that the menu is not set to display: none or that the hamburger menu icon is not accidentally hidden in the vertical view.

4. Responsive Design Settings: Webflow allows you to design different layouts for different screen sizes with its responsive design features. It's possible that the navigation menu has different settings or positioning for the vertical view compared to tablet and horizontal mobile views. Double-check the settings for each breakpoint and make sure that the visibility and positioning settings are consistent and appropriate for your design.

To diagnose the issue more accurately, I recommend inspecting the problematic element using your browser's developer tools. This will allow you to see the CSS styles applied to the element and identify any conflicting or missing properties. Additionally, reviewing the layout and structure of your website in the Webflow Designer can help you identify any specific settings that may be affecting the appearance of the navigation menu on mobile devices.
