popoverShowTarget

The popoverShowTarget property of the HTMLInputElement and HTMLButtonElement interfaces creates a trigger element that shows an associated hidden popover. It is the DOM definition of the HTML popovershowtarget attribute.

# Value

A string value equal to the ID of the popover element that you want to show, to associate the two.

# Example

const popover = document.getElementById('my-popover-btn');

// get
popover.popoverShowTarget;

// set
popover.popoverShowTarget = 'my-popover';
