Hi all,

Can anyone tell me if it’s possible to make a pop-up box that scales proportionally, keeping all elements inside in place? I’m using Wix Studio

I have a site with a maximum width of 1200. All elements are designed to scale proportionally.

When I make a pop up box, elements placed inside move around when the desktop screen sized is altered. I’ve tried adjusting responsive behaviours for the box itself as well as all elements inside it, I’ve also tried placing the elements in containers or stacks. However, there appears to be no way to make the elements (text and and image) stay exactly where they’re placed regardless of screen size.

And when I say screen size, I mean on the desktop breakpoint.

I’ve made a few different test sites now and they all have the same problem.

Thanks!

what margins are you using ? px, px\*, %, vh, vw

have you added all items to a container and set that to a specific size ?

I’d also check the docking - if they’re not docked correctly, that’s also another common cause of drifting elements when resizing.

This tutorial might help 🙂
