How can I lock the scrolling of the body when the burger menu is clicked in Webflow and ensure that it unlocks when the menu is closed?

TL;DR
  • Create a 'no-scroll' class with overflow: hidden, add it to the body using interactions for the burger menu button to lock scrolling on open and unlock on close.
  • Test functionality across devices and browsers to ensure consistent behavior and ensure no script/style conflicts with no-scroll.

To lock scrolling when a burger menu is open and unlock it when closed in Webflow, follow these steps:

​

1. Create a 'No Scroll' Class

  • Go to your Styles Panel and create a new class called no-scroll.
  • Set properties for overflow: hidden to prevent scrolling.

​

2. Add Interactions for the Burger Menu

  • Select your Burger Menu button in the Designer.
  • Go to the Interactions Panel and set up an interaction for when the button is clicked.
  • For the first click, create an interaction that adds the no-scroll class to the body. This will lock scrolling.
  • For the second click, set the interaction to remove the no-scroll class from the body, unlocking scrolling.

​

3. Test Your Burger Menu

  • Preview your site and click the burger menu to ensure scrolling locks when the menu is open.
  • Click again to verify that scrolling unlocks when the menu closes.

​

4. Consider Edge Cases

  • Make sure there’s no interference from other scripts or styles that might conflict with the no-scroll class.
  • Check on different devices and browsers to verify consistent behavior.

​

Summary

To control the scroll behavior in Webflow when using a burger menu: Create a no-scroll class with overflow: hidden, and use interactions to add this class to the body when the menu opens and remove it when it closes. This ensures a user-friendly experience on all devices.
