HOWTO CSS Button Split

🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)

A "split button" is really just a dropdown menu (.dropdown:hover .dropdown-content { display: block; }) whose TRIGGER happens to be a second small button with a caret icon sitting immediately next to a normal action button — the dropdown-reveal mechanism itself (hidden content shown on :hover, positioned absolute inside a relative/inline-block wrapper) is identical to any other CSS-only dropdown; the only distinguishing feature is the visual split between "primary action" (left button) and "reveal more options" (right arrow button). [S1]

🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)

  • Font Awesome icon library — loaded via a <link> to a CDN stylesheet, providing the caret-down icon (fa fa-caret-down) used as the dropdown trigger. [S1]
  • .dropdown { position: absolute; display: inline-block; } — wraps the caret button and the dropdown content together as a positioning anchor. [S1]
  • .dropdown-content { display: none; position: absolute; } — the hidden menu, absolutely positioned relative to .dropdown. [S1]
  • .dropdown:hover .dropdown-content { display: block; } — the reveal mechanism: hovering the wrapper (which contains the caret button) shows the menu — a pure CSS :hover toggle, no JavaScript. [S1]
  • Shared hover state across both buttons.btn:hover, .dropdown:hover .btn { background-color: #0b7dda; } keeps the main button's color in sync when the dropdown is open, even though the dropdown itself is only hovered via the caret button. [S1]

📖 세부 내용 (Details)

  • HTML: <button class="btn">Button</button> <div class="dropdown"> <button class="btn" style="border-left:1px solid navy"><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></button> <div class="dropdown-content"><a href="#">Link 1</a>...</div></div>. [S1]
  • CSS reveal: .dropdown:hover .dropdown-content { display: block; }. [S1]

⚖️ 모순 및 업데이트 (Contradictions & updates)

없음 — 신규 레시피, 기존 문서와 모순되는 내용 없음.

🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)

"Button" 옆에 캐럿 아이콘 버튼을 붙여 마우스를 올리면 Link 1/2/3 드롭다운이 나타나는 예제가 원문에서 직접 제시됨. [S1]

💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)

Pure-CSS hover dropdown attached to a caret button (CSS):

.dropdown { position: absolute; display: inline-block; }
.dropdown-content { display: none; position: absolute; }
.dropdown:hover .dropdown-content { display: block; }
