Append-to-body is a feature used in web development to move a component's DOM element directly to the , avoiding z-index and overflow conflicts within containers.
Benefits include avoiding z-index and overflow conflicts, preventing CSS inheritance issues, and better handling of full-screen or global overlays.
Common issues with append-to-body include broken reactivity and event handling, CSS scoping problems, memory leaks if not handled properly, and positioning and animation glitches.
Browser compatibility is generally good across major browsers with some considerations such as proper styling with position, fixed or absolute, and managing focus and keyboard accessibility.
