A conference talk given at State of the Browser 2026 covering CSS Anchor Positioning. The talk explores how the new CSS API solves the classic problem of attaching popovers or tooltips to elements without a parent/child relationship, eliminating the need for JavaScript coordinate calculations. Key topics include the anchor() function, position-anchor and position-area properties, and @position-try for building context-aware UIs. Slides are available on slidr.io, with a video recording to follow.
