How to use CSS Anchor Positioning Playground
Pick the position, gap and fallback; the preview uses real CSS. Copy the CSS and the popover HTML.
How it works
anchor-name marks the button, position-anchor ties the tooltip to it, position-area chooses the side and position-try-fallbacks switches sides when the tooltip would overflow.
Example
position-area: top with a flip-block fallback keeps a tooltip above its button and moves it below when there is no room.
