Anchor Positioning | Tab Atkins-Bittner | CSS Day 2024

[@VideoNOLA]

I hope the speaker covers how to scope anchors (or modify anchor-names as variables?) in such a way that everything doesn't just align itself to the last item in DOM order. I'm trying to use anchor positioning within tiles of a grid, and all the are piling up in the last one. Ugh.

Containing Block is a 'trap' set up by element when certain condition match. First containing block is setup by the html called initial containing block. Tab low key explained containing block as easy as it gets.

It's. Just. Insane. Can't wait until I could use it in production.

Only 63 Likes and 7 Comments? Tells me the CSS community at large hasn't quite caught on to the significance of anchor positioning. Hopefully ready for prime time soon!

Hyphenated last name and had to say it’s because he took his wife’s last name. Nuff said.

Do you have some secret point you're struggling to express?

He made a joke about how his new initials are also his first name?? What's going on inside your brain

@@Turabbo I'm guessing @john smith suffers from right-wing brain poisoning and is roundly hated by his acquaintances.
