Step 2: Adding CSS for styling

To create an engaging vertical scroll, we need to add some CSS styles. Insert the following code between the opening

element and the .scroll-container class. The font-size is set to 18 pixels, line-height creates space between lines, and margin-bottom adds some spacing below each paragraph. The .scroll-container class sets a fixed height of 500 pixels with a scrollbar enabled via overflow-y.

Step 3: Creating the scroll container

Now that we have defined our styles, let’s create the scroll container div. Add the following code below your introductory paragraph:

Feel free to add more paragraphs and elements inside this scroll container.

  • This is a list item.
  • Another list item.
  • Yet another list item.

You can also add images, videos, or any other HTML element you desire!

In this code snippet, we wrap our content inside a div with the class “scroll-container”. This div will act as our container for the vertical scroll. Feel free to customize the content within the div as per your requirements.

Step 4: Preview and test

Save your HTML file and open it in a web browser. You should now see your content within the scroll container. Try scrolling vertically to test if it works smoothly.

Congratulations! You have successfully created a vertical scroll in Webflow using HTML and CSS. Experiment with different styles and content to make it visually engaging for your website visitors.

Remember, adding a vertical scroll can come in handy when you have lengthy content that needs to be displayed within a confined space. It helps improve user experience by separating long chunks of text into manageable sections.

In conclusion, we hope this tutorial has helped you understand how to create a vertical scroll in Webflow using simple HTML and CSS. Happy scrolling!
