Future CSS Tip! 🔮 Anchor Positioning lets you anchor elements to others with CSS alone 👍 It can also work out positioning if an element gets clipped by a container, window, etc. Think "Common floating UI uses with no JS" 🤯 .el { bottom: anchor(--link top); } Just CSS 👇

If you want to see this demo in action, here's the @CodePen link! 🤙 You'll need to be in Chrome Canary with the "Experimental Web Platform Features" flag enabled ⛳️ This one anchors Popovers using the Popover API 😎

And here's an article I put together all about Anchor Positioning that looks into some of the main parts of this CSS API 👀

This is great! tip! thanks you for sharing

It'll be pretty cool when/if it lands in other browsers! 💯

Unrelated question but when is it the right time to implement these new css features? Browser support can widely vary and many systems will still run old browser version so what's the recommended way to go about this?

CSS Tip! 🤙 You can create this magnetic :hover effect with CSS anchor positioning, :has, and zero JS 🔥 article { anchor-name: --develop; } ul:has(li:hover) { --anchor: --develop; } ul::after { inset: anchor(var(--anchor) top) anchor(var(--anchor) right) ... ; } How do you keep it clean when entering/exiting the list? Use transition-delay ⭐️ ul:has(li:hover) { --active: 1; } ul::after { opacity: var(--active, 0); transition: opacity 0.2s, inset 0.2s 0.2s; } ul:hover::after { transition: opacity 0.2s 0.2s, inset 0.2s; } This is a cool trick you can use. Delay the opacity on enter and then delay the position on exit. That way you don't get a weird effect on enter/exit 🙏 This one's a "Future" CSS tip 🔮 But, the demo will work in all browsers in some way. The idea is to progressively enhance it. 1. No JavaScript and no Anchor Positioning? Highlight on hover ✏️ 2. No Anchor Positioning? Use JavaScript with a single event listener to update the inset values using elementFromPoint and .closest 🫶 3. If there is Anchor Positioning support, use that and don't fire the JavaScript. You can check with CSS.supports('anchor-name: --anchor') ✨ That's it! CodePen.IO link below! 👇

Updated my SVG-to-CSS converter to support multiple path elements. An easy way to convert complex SVG shapes into CSS. It's a single-element implementation with a single shape() value! You can also have the border-only version using border-shape.
