# Why Is My Responsive Popup Taller Than the Screen On Mobile Devices?

### Description

  Your popup is set to ‘Responsive Sizes’ under the ‘Display Settings’ pane. It displays well on a desktop screen, yet on small-size screens appears *taller than the screen*. This can eliminate access to the popup ’Close’ button in the top-right corner, and lead you to think the popup is non-responsive on mobile devices. 

### Cause

  Your popup's content (the part we have no control over) is taller than a small screen-size. To adjust, the popup container expands vertically around the content.    Your choice of popup anchor position affects the placement of the popup container on screen. On mobile-sized screens, a popup anchored to ‘Middle Center’ will extend lengthy content above and below the screen.

### Solution

In the Popup Editor: 

1) go to the **'Popup Settings'** box, and

2) select the **'Display'** option tab.  Select the **'Position'** option category, and 

3) change the **'Location'** option from *'Middle Center'* to *'Top Center'*.

   Now the top of the popup container will be visible on a small screen size. The popup container will move up and down within the browser window, which allows all the popup content to be seen.
