    <el-dialog-panel class="mx-auto block max-w-3xl transform overflow-hidden rounded-xl bg-white shadow-2xl ring-1 ring-black/5 transition-all group-data-closed/dialog:scale-95 group-data-closed/dialog:opacity-0 group-data-enter/dialog:duration-300 group-data-enter/dialog:ease-out group-data-leave/dialog:duration-200 group-data-leave/dialog:ease-in">
Lovely. Verbosity aside, now on top of knowing CSS you need to learn another hierarchical system within class names.

Groups are great. It lets a child element activate an effect on a parent element.

    <div id="parent" class="group"><a class="group/hover:bg-black">Hover</a></div>
This eliminates the need for JS for a wide range of things.

But at what cost? If it’s not a CSS builtin, it’s going to use JS - it may not be something you care about, but it will be there. There’s no other way.

I believe it's regular old css. The :has() pseudo class.

It's not even :has, it's just how child selectors in CSS have always worked.

    // Not actually needed, here
    // for competition
    .group {}

    // Child selector
    .group:hover group\/hover\:bg-black {
      background-color: black; 
    }

    // Which is essentially the same as
    .group:hover child {
      background-color: black; 
    }

Isn’t it funny that in a thread about how Tailwind is bad and people should learn real css… people also think css selectors require JS?

:has doesn't require JS, I think the previous poster was just confused about which selector `group` is equivalent to.

Which is a indication they might not know CSS that well.

I’m sorry but :has is new. 2023. Forgive this grey beard that built the world you know.

No need to apologize, it just does not make sense to belittle other people's work when you lack the knowledge to judge it. Nobody told you it used JS for the effect, you conjured that up yourself.
