Fix Bubble One-Page App Scroll Issues with Custom States
Building a Bubble one-page app with custom states? Frustrated when your users navigate between screens and the page doesn't automatically scroll back to the top? You're not alone - this is one of the most common issues Planet No Code members encounter when building responsive web apps and mobile-like experiences in Bubble.io.
The Common Scroll Problem in Bubble Apps
When you're using custom states to control which content appears on your single-page Bubble app, users often find themselves stuck in the middle or bottom of a page after navigating. This creates a jarring user experience, especially when you're trying to replicate native mobile app behavior or build a smooth responsive web app.
The typical "scroll to element" workflow action in Bubble comes with animation that can feel sluggish and unprofessional. For apps that need instant, snappy navigation, this animated scroll simply doesn't cut it.
Why URL Parameters vs Custom States Matter
Interestingly, this scroll issue rarely occurs when using URL parameters instead of custom states for single-page navigation. However, many Bubble developers prefer custom states for their simplicity and performance benefits. The good news? You don't have to choose between smooth scrolling and your preferred Bubble development approach.
The JavaScript Solution for Instant Scroll
The solution involves a small piece of JavaScript code that can be implemented using the Toolbox plugin. This approach eliminates the animation delay and provides instant scroll-to-top functionality that feels native and responsive.
Planet No Code members get access to the exact JavaScript code and step-by-step implementation process, including how to properly integrate it into your Bubble workflows for maximum effectiveness.
Professional Mobile App Behavior in Bubble
This technique is particularly valuable for Bubble developers building apps that need to feel like native mobile applications. The instant scroll behavior matches what users expect from professional mobile apps, improving the overall user experience and making your no-code app feel more polished.
