Frequently Asked Questions

What is CSS anchor positioning?

A CSS feature that positions an element relative to another element, replacing JavaScript positioning libraries for tooltips and popovers.

What does position-area do?

It places the element in a cell of a 3x3 grid around the anchor, such as top, bottom span-right or center.

What are fallbacks?

position-try-fallbacks lets the browser flip the element when it would overflow the viewport.
