Examples

Positioning

Use the position- property to control the position of the popover

Pass two values into position- to set the horizontal and vertical position anchor

<details is-="popover" position-="<anchor>"></details>
<details is-="popover" position-="<x-anchor> <y-anchor>"></details>

<details is-="popover" position-="center"></details>
<details is-="popover" position-="start end"></details>
1
2 <div class="row">
3 <details is-="popover" position-="bottom right">
4 <summary>BR ↘</summary>
5 <div class="popover-content">Popover content</div>
6 </details>
7 <details is-="popover" position-="bottom left">
8 <summary>BL ↙</summary>
9 <div class="popover-content">Popover content</div>
10 </details>
11 </div>
12 <div class="row">
13 <details is-="popover" position-="top right">
14 <summary>TR ↗</summary>
15 <div class="popover-content">Popover content</div>
16 </details>
17 <details is-="popover" position-="top left">

2 body {

5 gap: 1lh;

7 height: 100vh;
8 }
9 .row {
10 display: flex;
11 gap: 1ch;
12 aling-items: center;
13 justify-content: center;

18 .popover-content {
19 background-color: var(--background1);
20 white-space: nowrap;
21 padding: 1lh 1ch;

Use baseline-* values to position the content relative to the edges of the popover

1
2 <div class="row">
3 <details is-="popover" position-="bottom baseline-right">
4 <summary>Bottom Baseline-Right</summary>
5 <div class="popover-content">Popover content</div>
6 </details>
7 <details is-="popover" position-="bottom baseline-left">
8 <summary>Bottom Baseline-Left</summary>
9 <div class="popover-content">Popover content</div>
10 </details>
11 </div>
12 <div class="row">
13 <details is-="popover" position-="right baseline-top">
14 <summary>Right Baseline-Top</summary>
15 <div class="popover-content">Popover content</div>
16 </details>
17 <details is-="popover" position-="left baseline-bottom">
18 <summary>Left Baseline-Bottom</summary>
19 <div class="popover-content">Popover content</div>
20 </details>
21 </div>

Caveats

Elements using the box- utility that appear after the popover in the html markup will appear above the popover content no matter what z-index you provide

<style>
    .column {
        display: flex;
        flex-direction: column;
    }
</style>

<div class="column">
    <details is-="popover">
        <summary>Popover</summary>
        <div>Popover content</div>
    </details>
    <div box-="square">Will appear above the open popover since defined after it in the html</div>
</div>

As a workaround, you can set the flex-direction to row-reverse or column-reverse on the parent element of the popover

<style>
    .column-reverse {
        display: flex;
        flex-direction: column-reverse;
    }
</style>

<div class="column-reverse">
    <div box-="square">Will appear behind the open popover since defined before it in the html</div>
    <details is-="popover">
        <summary>Popover</summary>
        <div>Popover content</div>
    </details>
</div>

Reference

Properties

  • --popover-backdrop-color: The background color of the backdrop (transparent by default)
  • --popover-offset-x: The horizontal offset of the popover
  • --popover-offset-y: The vertical offset of the popover
#my-custom-popover {
    --popover-backdrop-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
    --popover-offset-x: 1ch;
    --popover-offset-y: 1lh;
}

Extending

To extend the Popover stylesheet, define a CSS rule on the components layer

@layer components {
    details[is-~="popover"] {
        &[variant-="inverted"] {
            /* ... */
        }

        /* ... */
    }
}

Scope

details[is-~="popover"] { /* ... */ }
