I am trying to add buttons to our news page that expand and contract the news text boxes on click. The first one works great, but the second one is acting weird. I set it up the same, but when the text box is collapsed, the text from the div block below it jumps up and overlaps and looks terrible. I when through all div blocks on the page and made sure their style setup was the same, so I am stumped. Any ideas? On the Global News Page in the link.
Hi there,
When dealing with overlapping content in Webflow, there are several common solutions:
The first thing to check is collapsing margins between adjacent elements, which can cause unexpected layout behavior. To fix this, you can add margin to only one of the adjacent elements or use padding instead of margin.
If you’re using interactions or animations, make sure to set the “Overflow: hidden” property on the parent element. This prevents child elements from extending beyond their container during animations.
For general content overlap issues, also verify:
- Element positioning (relative vs absolute)
- Z-index values if using layered elements
- Container width and height settings
- Flex or grid layout properties if using these display types
Hopefully this helps! If you still need assistance, please reply here so somebody from the community can help.
