Glossary Term

position-try-fallbacks

3 tags 1 category

The position-try-fallbacks CSS property enables you to specify a list of one or more alternative position try fallback options for anchor-positioned elements to be placed relative to their associated anchor elements. When the element would otherwise overflow its inset-modified containing block, the browser will try placing the positioned element in these different fallback positions, in the order provided, until it finds a value that stops it from overflowing its container or the viewport.

Anchor-positioned elements should always appear in a convenient place for the user to interact with, if at all possible, regardless of where their anchor is positioned. To stop the positioned element from overflowing the viewport, it is often necessary to change its location when its anchor gets close to the edge of its containing element or the viewport.

Syntax example: position-try-fallbacks: none;
