Why is "Image 10" not sliding completely on my Webflow Home Page preview mode, but works fine in the interaction preview in design mode?
TL;DR
- Check parent containers for Overflow: Hidden and confirm correct positioning to prevent clipping.
- Verify the animation trigger occurs when "Image 10" is visible in the viewport and review delay settings.
- Ensure consistent animation values and durations, and confirm final position doesn’t cause layout issues.
- Check Z-Index and layer order to avoid visual interference from overlapping elements.
- Test across responsive breakpoints to ensure animations and layout behave consistently.
If "Image 10" doesn't slide fully on your Webflow Home Page in preview mode but works in the Interactions panel, it's likely due to layout constraints or incorrect trigger sequencing. Here's how to troubleshoot and fix it:
1. Check Element’s Overflow and Positioning
- Select Parent Containers of "Image 10" and verify Overflow settings in the Style panel.
- If any parent has Overflow: Hidden, it may clip the image before it completes sliding.
- Confirm that "Image 10" and its container use appropriate Positioning (Relative, Absolute, or Fixed) as per your animation logic.
2. Inspect Trigger and Timing in Page Preview
- Go to the Page Trigger (e.g. Page Load or Scroll Into View) in the Interactions panel.
- Ensure "Image 10" is actually visible in the viewport at the time of trigger. Otherwise, it won’t animate.
- Double-check any Wait or Delay settings in the timeline that may differ from expectations.
3. Compare the Animation Steps
- In the Interactions panel, select the action affecting "Image 10".
- Make sure the X or Y translation values and Duration are consistent.
- Sometimes, Final position values (e.g. Move X: 100%) result in unexpected layout behavior if the parent container resizes or scrolls.
4. Layer Order and Z-Index
- Ensure no other objects are overlapping or interfering with "Image 10".
- Increase the Z-Index of the image if necessary to avoid being visually clipped or pushed behind other elements.
5. Viewport Constraints and Responsiveness
- Resize your screen in the preview mode; sometimes animations that appear correct in the Interactions panel don’t scale properly.
- If breakpoints are active, double-check that animation targets and layout styles are correct at all screen sizes.
Summary
"Image 10" likely fails to slide fully due to overflow, positioning constraints, or misconfigured animation triggers in preview mode. Review parent containers, trigger visibility, and animation values to ensure alignment between design and preview behavior.
