positioning a div in above another div - html

Question

This is challenging for me to position the share div like in the picture above. well, I tried the position absolute with bottom and left it's so frustrating adjusting the px but the output is always either stacked on top or bottom. how can I achieve that similar output in the picture?
:root {
--VeryDarkGrayishBlue: hsl(217, 19%, 35%);
--DesaturatedDarkBlue: hsl(214, 17%, 51%);
--GrayishBlue: hsl(212, 23%, 69%);
--LightGrayishBlue: hsl(210, 46%, 95%);
}

Answer 1

I have made some changes in the code and made the popup visible with absolute.
:root {
--VeryDarkGrayishBlue: hsl(217, 19%, 35%);
--DesaturatedDarkBlue: hsl(214, 17%, 51%);
--GrayishBlue: hsl(212, 23%, 69%);
--LightGrayishBlue: hsl(210, 46%, 95%);

Answer 2

I think without javascript you won't be able to do it.
You could include your share-option (position absolute) inside share-icon (position relative). This way option would be positioned relative to the button.
<div class="share">
<div class="share-icon">
<button>
<img src="/images/icon-share.svg" alt="">
</button>
<div class="share-option hidden">
<span>Share</span>
<img src="/images/icon-facebook.svg" alt="">
<img src="/images/icon-pinterest.svg" alt="">
<img src="/images/icon-twitter.svg" alt="">
</div>
</div>
</div>
and css
.share-icon {
position: relative;
}
.share-icon button {
border: none;
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
border-radius: 50%;
background-color: var(--LightGrayishBlue);
cursor: pointer;
}
.share-option {
width: 250px;
height: 40px;
background: var(--VeryDarkGrayishBlue);
border-radius: 10px;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
color: white;
position: absolute;
top: -40px;
z-index: 100;
}
Now the problem is options are in the boundary of the relative, so it doesn't extend on the right!
I suppose this container is responsive, meaning size can change. So I think the only way would be to put the option in the body (display none), when a click (or hover) happens on the button, you take the position of the button and position options on top of it with display flex
