This demonstration shows how CSS can be pushed beyond static styling to create conditional visual behavior in stacked bar charts, where each bar consists of multiple stacked layers (bottom → very top).
In this approach, the Rich Text component is not used as a visibility trigger, but as a lightweight HTML container whose attributes are generated from data.
These attributes (classes, IDs, or data-attributes) are then queried by CSS using :has(), allowing chart appearance to respond indirectly to those attributes.

1. Bar Chart / Chart (Beta) — Order-Based Bar (nth-bar)
Classes A–F are written into a Rich Text container as data-signaling selectors:
<div class="A B D"></div>
- Each selector corresponds to one bar (A → bar 1, B → bar 2, … F → bar 6) and switches the bar between red and blue.
- These selectors target bar positions (render-order dependent), not fixed data rows.
- The
+combinator is used to target individual stacked layers within each bar.- Tooltips automatically adapt to the active stack color on hover.
Note: This method works for all Bar Chart components. It is ideal when the order of bars is fixed and predictable.
Here is the CSS logic code built to generate visual behavior based on data conditions:

2. Chart Beta — Dynamic Bar Targeting
For Chart (Beta) components only, bar colors can be assigned by targeting each bar’s unique data identifier, rather than relying on its render order in the DOM.
- This allows colors to adjust according to the actual x-axis value (
name="...") rather than bar position.- Tooltips automatically adapt to reflect the hovered stack’s color.
- This method is particularly useful when the Chart (Beta) component’s bar order may vary dynamically or when data is sorted differently.
Although this component is still evolving, it demonstrates a clean way to link visual styling directly to data attributes, making the chart behavior data-aligned and robust to reordering.
