Advanced tools
To use the polyfill, add this script tag to your document <head>:
<script type="module">
if (!("anchorName" in document.documentElement.style)) {
import("https://unpkg.com/@oddbird/css-anchor-positioning");
}
</script>
If you want to manually apply the polyfill, you can instead import the
polyfill function directly from the
@oddbird/css-anchor-positioning/dist/css-anchor-positioning-fn.js file.
For build tools such as Vite, Webpack, and Parcel, that will look like this:
import polyfill from '@oddbird/css-anchor-positioning/fn';
The polyfill function returns a promise that resolves when the polyfill has
been applied.
You can view a more complete demo here.
The polyfill accepts one argument (type: boolean, default: false), which
determines whether anchor calculations should update on every animation
frame (e.g. when the
anchor element is animated using transforms), in addition to always updating
on scroll/resize. While this option is optimized for performance, it should be
used sparingly.
<script type="module">
if (!("anchorName" in document.documentElement.style)) {
const { default: polyfill } = await import("https://unpkg.com/@oddbird/css-anchor-positioning/dist/css-anchor-positioning-fn.js");
polyfill(true);
}
</script>
When using the default version of the polyfill that executes automatically, this
option can be set by setting the value of
window.UPDATE_ANCHOR_ON_ANIMATION_FRAME.
<script type="module">
if (!("anchorName" in document.documentElement.style)) {
window.UPDATE_ANCHOR_ON_ANIMATION_FRAME = true;
import("https://unpkg.com/@oddbird/css-anchor-positioning");
}
</script>
This polyfill was implemented against an early version of the spec, and updates were paused to allow the syntax to solidify. Now that browsers are working on implementation, we would like to bring it up to date.
While this polyfill supports many basic use cases, it doesn't (yet) support the following features:
position-try-order. If try-size is specified in position-try
shorthand, it will be parsed, and try-tactics will be applied, but the
try-size will be ignored.flip-start try-tactic is only partially supported. The tactic is
only applied to property names and anchor sides.position-area as a try-tacticposition-anchor.anchor-scope property on pseudo-elementsposition-area propertyanchor-center value for justify-self, align-self, justify-items, and
align-items propertiesimplicit anchor-elementinside or outside
anchor-sideposition-visibility propertyinset-* properties or inset shorthand
propertyIn addition, JS APIs like CSSPositionTryRule or CSS.supports will not be
polyfilled.
