While working on my smart layouts talk for CSS Day, I used Anchor Positioning heavily as I needed to try an idea. In doing so, I noticed a strange difference between the Chrome and Safari TP implementations and reported it.
When using @position-try
, Chrome doesn’t update the position if you resize the screen, while Safari does.
I wouldn’t have caught this if I hadn’t tried the feature myself. I might even be the first one to experience it.
When a new CSS feature drops, please don’t wait for full browser support to give it a try. You don’t need to use it in production. Just play with it in side projects, demos, or small experiments.
By doing that, we help move the web forward, instead of discovering long-standing issues years later.
