Tailwind Icon-Only Button with Accessible Tooltip

A four-button icon toolbar where each control carries a real accessible name, a 44px touch target inside a 40px visual square, and a tooltip that appears on hover and keyboard focus. has-hover: and has-focus-visible: on the wrapper are the port's headline: the relational CSS selector becomes two variants sitting on the element that owns the tooltip.

What changed in the port

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

  • Utilities: the toolbar, every button state, the hit expander, the tooltip's box and both show conditions — including starting: and transition-discrete, which v4 ships as real utilities for @starting-style and allow-discrete.
  • CSS: the tooltip arrow (a border triangle on ::after is machinery, and writing it as six arbitrary utilities would be worse in every way) and the @supports (anchor-name) block, which re-points position, position-area and justify-self together as one progressive-enhancement unit.
  • The named group (group/item) is what makes the relational port correct. An unnamed group here would open all four tooltips at once — worth stating, because it is the exact failure mode the CSS version avoided by scoping to .cb-04__item.
  • The CSS original gated @starting-style behind @supports (animation-timeline: view()) — an unrelated feature used as a proxy. The port drops the proxy: starting: is simply ignored where unsupported, and the tooltip appears instantly instead.

How this works

The relational selector becomes a variant. The CSS version wrote .item:is(:hover,:has(:focus-visible)) .tip. Tailwind states it on the item and targets the tooltip through a child variant:

<span class="group/item relative inline-flex">
  <button aria-label="Share article" aria-describedby="tb-04-t1">…</button>
  <span role="tooltip" id="tb-04-t1"
    class="hidden opacity-0 group-hover/item:block group-hover/item:opacity-100
           group-has-focus-visible/item:block group-has-focus-visible/item:opacity-100">Share</span>
</span>

Named groups matter here: group/item scopes the relationship to one toolbar cell, so hovering the bar never opens four tooltips.

The accessible name is unchanged by the port. aria-label on the button, aria-describedby pointing at a real role="tooltip" element — assistive tech reads "Bookmark article, button" then the description, never a duplicated string. No utility touches this, and that is the correct outcome.

Anchor positioning stays in the stylesheet. Each button declares its own anchor-name inline and each tooltip names it back with position-anchor; the @supports (anchor-name: --a) block then re-points the tooltip to position-area: block-start. This is machinery, not design, so it lives in CSS — and a shared anchor name on a class would tether all four tooltips to one button, which is the classic bug.

Make it yours

  • Tooltips below the row: change bottom-full mb-2.5 to top-full mt-2.5 and flip position-area to block-end in the @supports block.
  • Add buttons freely — the bar is flex gap-1.5 and each item is self-contained.
  • For a pressed icon button, set aria-pressed="true"; the aria-pressed: utilities already style it.
  • Touch-first: raise the square to size-11 and drop the after: hit expander.
  • Quiet quick passes: add delay-300 on show and group-hover/item:delay-0 on hide.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • title is not a tooltip: no keyboard focus, unreadable on touch, unstylable. Use a real element plus aria-describedby.
  • Never repeat the aria-label text in the tooltip — screen readers announce it twice. Label = what it does; tooltip = extra help.
  • An unnamed group would make every item's tooltip respond to every other item. Always name the group when the pattern repeats in a row.
  • starting: only applies to the first style change after the element becomes rendered, so it belongs on the visible state, not the base class list.
  • anchor-name must be unique per anchor element — it stays inline here for exactly that reason.
  • group-has-focus-visible/item: is long, and there is no shorter correct form. Dropping it is what makes an icon toolbar keyboard-hostile.

Browser support

@starting-style + transition-behavior:allow-discrete (v4's starting: and transition-discrete) need Chrome 117 / Safari 17.5 / Firefox 129; without them the tooltip appears instantly and is still fully accessible. CSS anchor positioning is Chrome 125+ today and is gated behind @supports with an absolute-position fallback.
