We kicked this series off looking a animating in and out the <dialog><\/code> element. This time we’re going to look at popovers. That is, this modern beauty:<\/p>\n\n\n

<button<\/span> popovertarget<\/span>=\"my-popover\"<\/span>><\/span>\n  Toggle Popover\n<\/button<\/span>><\/span>\n\n<aside<\/span> popover<\/span> id<\/span>=\"my-popover\"<\/span>><\/span>\n  Content of popover\n<\/aside<\/span>><\/span><\/code><\/span>Code language:<\/span> HTML, XML<\/span> (<\/span>xml<\/span>)<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n\n\n
That “popover” will open and close (i.e. change from display: none;<\/code> to display: block;<\/code>) automatically with the button press. But we want to animate that! In and out! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Admittedly, popovers are fairly similar to dialogs (but certainly have important differences<\/a>), and that is part of the point. We’re going to show off that our three-phase system we established in the first article transfers over to something else just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n
