Tailwind Split Button with Anchor-Positioned Popover Dropdown (No JS)

A primary action fused to a caret that opens a real popover menu, tethered with CSS Anchor Positioning written as arbitrary properties — [anchor-name:--tbg01-anc] on the caret, [position-anchor:--tbg01-anc] top-[anchor(bottom)] on the menu. The menu lives in the top layer, so no overflow-hidden parent can clip it, and v4's open: + starting: variants animate it in and out. Zero JavaScript.

What changed in the port

Which parts became utilities, which stayed CSS, and why.

  • Every .btn-01__* rule became utilities on the element it styles; the @starting-style block became starting:open: and allow-discrete became transition-discrete.
  • UI upgrade: each menu item carries popovertargetaction="hide", so choosing a format closes the menu — the CSS original stayed open after a click.
  • UI upgrade: the caret now rotates while the menu is open (the original's rotate rule never fired), the primary action gained a download icon, and every row shows its file extension or shortcut.
  • UI upgrade: the anchor fallback is now a centred, fully usable menu instead of one pinned to the viewport's bottom-right corner.

How this works

The browser does the plumbing. The caret is a plain <button popovertarget="tbg01-menu">; the menu is a popover. Light-dismiss, Escape and focus return come with the platform.

<button popovertarget="tbg01-menu" class="[anchor-name:--tbg01-anc]">
<div id="tbg01-menu" popover class="[position-anchor:--tbg01-anc]
  top-[anchor(bottom)] right-[anchor(right)] [position-try-fallbacks:flip-block]
  opacity-0 open:opacity-100 starting:open:opacity-0 transition-discrete">

Why bottom-auto left-auto m-0. The UA stylesheet centres every popover with inset:0; margin:auto. Releasing two edges and the margin hands placement to the anchor.

Fallback. not-supports-[anchor-name:--x]: restores a centred dialog-style menu, so older engines still get a usable, on-screen list.

Make it yours

  • Open upwards by default: swap top-[anchor(bottom)] for bottom-[anchor(top)] and mt-2 for mb-2.
  • Left-align the menu with the primary button: use left-[anchor(left)] and move anchor-name to the wrapper.
  • Re-theme: edit --color-tbg01-acc and --color-tbg01-acc-d in @theme; the caret, focus rings and hover tint follow.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Anchor names are document-global — give every split button its own --name (or use anchor-scope).
  • The Popover API is a disclosure, not a full ARIA menu: arrow-key navigation between items needs script if you require it.
  • Keep the primary action a separate <button> so a click on the label never opens the menu.

Popover API is Baseline 2024. Anchor Positioning is newer — not-supports-[anchor-name:--x]: keeps a centred fallback menu everywhere else. Tailwind v4's own sheet needs Chrome 111 / Safari 16.4 / Firefox 128.
