9. attach() - existing DOM elements

Existing .fs-dropdown div — type: 'dropdown' passed so type init runs automatically

—

Existing .fs-number-picker div — type: 'number-picker' auto-initialises

—

Arbitrary custom markup

10. Advanced options

closeOthers: false - all can be open

gap: 0 / 12 / 28

minWidth: 320

onChange: false (silent)

events suppressed

bind() multi-anchor - same floater, multiple triggers

—

trigger: 'contextmenu' - right-click zone

Right-click here

—

trigger: 'focus' - input focus opens floater

—

11. Custom types - registerType()

Color palette picker

#5588ff

Star rating

—

Icon / emoji picker

—

Confirm dialog (yes/no)

—

context-menu built-in - global: true

Does not close when other floaters open, does not close others when it opens.
Last selection shown bottom-right.

—

Progress / status indicator

—

12. Dynamic operations

destroy() + recreate

exists: yes

closeAll() / closeAll(filter)

open some first:

update() - live marker change

—

has() / get() API - reads mark-upd state

—

12b. Programmatic / remote triggers - no direct interaction needed

Open after 1.5s delay (timer)

—

floater anchors here

Remote: click button A → opens anchored to button B

→

—

Chain: picking A fires B on a different anchor

Step 2 opens here

—

Open from input focus (text-suggestions on a label click)

Click label →

—

Programmatic open/close via API buttons - persist only

floater anchor

Console: _trigProg.open()

13. Viewport edge positions - floater flips above/below as needed

Six fixed buttons are pinned to the viewport edges.

14. preferRight / preferLeft / centerY

preferRight - opens right, flips left if needed

—

preferLeft - opens left, flips right if needed

—

preferRight + centerY - vertically centred on anchor

—

15. persist type / persistOnOutsideClick - stays open until explicitly closed

persistOnOutsideClick: true - click outside does nothing

—

Floater within floater - child keeps parent open

—

Floater within floater - child selection closes both

—

16. Modal - backdrop blocks page, must be explicitly dismissed

modal: true + protected: true - backdrop click does nothing (protected)

blockScroll: true - locks page scroll; backdrop click closes

blockClicks: true - backdrop absorbs clicks, won't close on click

17. Fetch / Audio / Video types

fetch - JSON with transform + closeButton: true

—

fetch - image URL (auto-detected from extension)

—

fetch - XHR mode (fetchMethod: 'xhr')

—

audio - track swap

No Track Selected

audio - rememberProgress (close + reopen restores position)

—

video - resetOnOpen (always restarts)

video - rememberProgress (close + reopen continues)

18. setDefaults() - global and type-level defaults

global gap: 10 applied to all instances created after setDefaults()

type default — setDefaults('dropdown', { minWidth: 200 })

instance opt overrides type default — minWidth: 80

19. Image floater

Basic image + caption

update() - swap src + caption

closeButton: true

20. toFrontOn - z-index stacking

All three open on the same anchor with closeOthers: false so they overlap. Each has a different size. Click/hover inside each to test bring-to-front behaviour.

3 close anchors, 1 callsite - floaters overlap for z-stack test

click

hover

none

21. Scroll behaviour

Default (closeOnScroll: false): stays open and repositions to follow the anchor as the page scrolls. Use closeOnScroll: true to close on scroll. persistOnOutsideClick: true → scroll-immune but static (fixed position, does not follow anchor).

closeOnScroll: true - closes on scroll

—

closeOnScroll: false (default) - follows anchor

—

persistOnOutsideClick: true - also scroll-immune

—

modal: true - scroll-immune + backdrop (click backdrop to close)

22. Press trigger & scroll select

trigger: 'press' opens on mousedown and selects by drag. scrollSelect: true lets you scroll through options without opening the floater.

trigger: 'press' - hold and drag to select

—

scrollSelect: true - scroll wheel on button (no open)

—

number-picker scrollSelect preset mode - scroll cycles 5/10/25/50/100

number-picker scrollSelect step mode - scroll ±5; click to open

date scrollSelect - scroll input to change day; open picker and scroll cols to change per-col

—

time scrollSelect - scroll input to change minute; open picker and scroll cols to change per-col

—

datetime scrollSelect - scroll input to change minute; open picker and scroll cols to change per-col

—

date scrollPanel: true - open picker and scroll anywhere on it to change day; cols also scroll per-col

—

time scrollCols: false - open picker; cols do not respond to scroll; input still scrolls minute

—

datetime scrollPanel: true + scrollCols: true - scroll input, panel, or individual cols

—

23. Animations

animateIn / animateOut presets, a custom registerAnimation(), and switching a floater's animation on demand via update().

animateIn/Out: 'fade'

animateIn/Out: 'scale'

animateIn: 'slide-down', animateOut: 'slide-up'

Floater.registerAnimation('flip', {...}) - custom animation, own CSS classes registered by the page

instance.update({ animateIn, animateOut, animateInDuration, animateOutDuration }) - switch a floater's in/out animation and per-direction durations on demand, no recreate

24. Event hooks

Floater.on() observing every instance globally, custom events via emit(), and querying open floaters.

Floater.on() - global counts across every basic event, every floater on this page (since page load)

instance.emit('ping') - instance.on() only sees the instance it's attached to; Floater.on() sees every instance

-

Floater.getOpen(filter) - query open floaters by type / id prefix
