Understanding the TranslateY Issue

Have you ever faced the issue where applying the translateY property in CSS makes elements disappear for your first child but causes the last child to increase the page size? If you are working with CSS transformations, this behavior can be frustrating, especially when you want to keep your layout intact while achieving smooth transitions. In this guide, we will explore this common problem and provide you with a simple solution to ensure your elements disappear properly, without affecting the overall page size.

The Problem Breakdown

In a scenario where you have multiple elements inside a container, using the translateY transformation can lead to unintended results. Here’s the situation you might encounter:

The first child of the container translates up and disappears.

The last child, however, translates down, increases the page content size, and remains visible.

This behavior can disrupt the user experience and layout of your webpage, making it look unpolished.

An Example to Illustrate

Consider the following HTML and CSS structure:

In this example, if you apply the translateY effect, you will notice the last child incorrectly impacts the page size.

The Solution

To resolve this irritating issue, you need to ensure that the content of your container does not exceed the boundaries of its parent. This can be achieved by introducing a simple CSS property: overflow: hidden; to your container class.

Here’s How to Implement the Solution

Modify your CSS class as follows:

Conclusion

By adding the overflow: hidden; style to your container class, you will not only eliminate the excessive space caused by the translateY transformation but also ensure that both the first and last child elements smoothly transition in and out of view. This simple yet effective solution can enhance the functionality and visual appeal of your webpage significantly.
