CSS Confirm Delete Button

A destructive action that asks once, inline, without a modal: the delete button expands to reveal "Cancel / Yes, delete" with the confirm option deliberately placed second and never under the original cursor position. Grid-track animation, a checkbox for state, and a lid-flip trash icon — all pure CSS.

How this works

The expansion is a grid whose second track animates from 0fr to 1fr — the modern way to animate to intrinsic content width without max-width hacks:

.cb-12__shell{ display:grid; grid-template-columns:auto 0fr;
  transition:grid-template-columns .45s cubic-bezier(.16,1,.3,1); }
.cb-12__shell:has(input:checked){ grid-template-columns:auto 1fr; }
.cb-12__confirm{ min-width:0; overflow:hidden; }

The trash lid rotates off using transform-origin at its hinge, so one path becomes an animation:

.cb-12__lid{ transform-origin:18% 60%; transition:rotate .35s, translate .35s; }
.cb-12__shell:has(input:checked) .cb-12__lid{ rotate:-22deg; translate:-1px -1px; }

Safety comes from layout, not colour: the confirm button appears to the right of the cancel, so a second reflexive click lands on "Cancel". The trigger is a checkbox label (Space toggles, focus visible), and the confirm control is a real <button> so your handler binds where you expect.

Make it yours

  • Reverse the option order for platforms where confirm-first is the convention — swap the two children, nothing else.
  • Add a countdown by putting a @keyframes width animation on the confirm's ::after; auto-collapse needs JS though.
  • Change --danger once to match your palette; the ghost cancel derives from the neutral tokens.
  • For a heavier action (delete account) add a typed-confirmation input into the revealed slot — the grid track grows to fit.
  • Set grid-template-columns:auto 1fr on load if you want the confirmation always visible in a bulk-edit toolbar.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • 0fr track animation needs the child to have min-width:0 and overflow:hidden, otherwise the content refuses to compress.
  • Never make the confirm button appear exactly where the trigger was — double-clickers will delete their data. Offset it.
  • Colour alone must not carry "this is destructive": the word "delete" is in the label for a reason.
  • For genuinely irreversible actions, an inline confirm is not enough; use a dialog with focus trapping and a typed confirmation.
  • A checkbox is fine for a self-contained widget, but if this lives in a form give it form="" so it isn't serialised as data.

Floor set by :has(), oklch(), color-mix() as this demo is written. The core technique itself goes back further — Chrome 107+.

Animating grid-template-columns needs Chrome 107 / Safari 16 / Firefox 66; :has() needs Chrome 105 / Safari 15.4 / Firefox 121. Without :has() the state toggle needs a sibling selector or a class from JS — the layout technique is unchanged.
