How can I make my Webflow modal scrollable on small screens without affecting the scrollability of the content behind it?

To make your Webflow modal scrollable on small screens without affecting the scrollability of the content behind it, follow these steps:

1. Open your Webflow project and navigate to the page where you have placed your modal.

2. Select the modal wrapper or the container that holds the modal content. You can typically find it as a parent element of the modal content.

3. In the right sidebar, under the Styles tab, click on the "+" button to add a new style to the selected element.

4. Select the "Overflow" property and choose "Auto" from the dropdown menu. This will enable scrollbars when the content inside the modal exceeds the available space.

5. Now, the modal content itself might have its own height set, which can prevent scrolling within the modal. To address this, select the modal content element.

6. Again, in the right sidebar, click on the "+" button to add a new style to the selected element.

7. Set the "Height" property to "Auto". This will allow the modal content to expand naturally based on its content.

8. You can further customize the scrolling behavior by adjusting the padding or margins of the modal content container to ensure appropriate spacing and alignment.

9. Test your modal by previewing the page and checking its behavior on smaller screens. The modal should now have scrollbars when the content is too long, without affecting the scrolling of the background content.

By making these adjustments, you can create a scrollable modal on small screens while maintaining the scrollability of the content behind it.
