Tailwind Floating Chat Widget Close Button

The support-widget launcher: a gradient FAB whose chat bubble spins out as the × spins in, driven entirely by group-aria-expanded: — the script flips one ARIA attribute and never touches a class. The panel enters and exits on data-open: with a visibility transition, so the original's setTimeout/hidden juggling is gone, and Esc now closes it.

What changed in the port

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

  • .fab[aria-expanded="true"] .bubble became group-aria-expanded: on the bubble — the script now sets ARIA and a data-open attribute, never a class.
  • Bug fix: the original's hidden + requestAnimationFrame + 250ms setTimeout race is replaced by a visibility transition; rapid double-clicks no longer leave the panel hidden while "open".
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: Esc closes the widget and returns focus to the launcher, the closed panel is inert, and the panel gained an agent header with an online dot and response-time line.
  • UI upgrade: the panel is labelled as a dialog ("Support chat") so screen readers announce what opened.

## JavaScript
```js
(() => {
  const fab = document.getElementById('tcb-04-fab');
  if (!fab || fab.dataset.wired) return;
  fab.dataset.wired = '1';
  const panel = document.getElementById('tcb-04-panel');
  const set = (open) => {
    fab.setAttribute('aria-expanded', String(open));
    fab.setAttribute('aria-label', open ? 'Close chat' : 'Open chat');
    panel.toggleAttribute('data-open', open);
    panel.inert = !open;
  };
  set(false);
  fab.addEventListener('click', () => set(fab.getAttribute('aria-expanded') !== 'true'));
  document.addEventListener('keydown', (e) => {
    if (e.key === 'Escape' && fab.getAttribute('aria-expanded') === 'true') { set(false); fab.focus(); }
  });
})();
```

How this works

Two icons, one cell. Both glyphs sit in the same grid cell; each owns its own enter and exit:

bubble: group-aria-expanded:rotate-90 group-aria-expanded:scale-40 group-aria-expanded:opacity-0
×:      -rotate-90 scale-40 opacity-0 group-aria-expanded:rotate-0 group-aria-expanded:scale-100 group-aria-expanded:opacity-100

Why visibility beats hidden. visibility is discretely animatable: it flips at the end of the exit and the start of the entrance, so the panel stays painted while it fades. The CSS original un-hid it, waited a frame, toggled a class and re-hid it on a 250ms timer.

Make it yours

  • Brand: edit --color-tcb04-a / --color-tcb04-b; the gradient and the shadow glow follow.
  • Position: the stage is justify-end items-end; in production make the wrapper fixed end-5 bottom-5.
  • Unread badge: add <span class="absolute -top-1 -end-1 size-5 rounded-full bg-red-500 group-aria-expanded:hidden"> inside the FAB.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Update aria-label alongside aria-expanded — "Open chat" read on an open widget is a lie.
  • inert must be set on load too (the script calls set(false) once), or the closed panel's links are tabbable.
