bug: invisible toast area blocks buttons

What version of daisyUI are you using?

4.12.10

Which browsers are you seeing the problem on?

All browsers

Describe your issue

Use-case: If the page have a toast area (div with toast class), it is not visible without any content inside it and can be used in conjunction with javascript to show alerts when it is required.

Issue: If the button is located in the same part of the page, the button area that overlaps with toast padding is not clickable. You can check how it looks like in the provided reproduction url.

Solution: The solution I see is to replace p-4 with m-4 in here

The issue you're experiencing is due to the padding (p-4) applied to the toast area, which causes it to occupy clickable space on the page even when it appears empty. Since this area overlaps with any nearby buttons or elements, it interferes with their clickability.

Proposed Solution

Replacing p-4 with m-4 on the toast container would address this issue. Here’s why:

• Padding (p-4): Adds space inside the toast container, effectively expanding the clickable area of the invisible div.
• Margin (m-4): Adds space outside the container, ensuring that the toast area doesn’t interfere with adjacent elements.

By using m-4, the toast container will maintain a visually distinct position on the page when active, without expanding its clickable area when empty.

How to Implement

Change the class for your toast container from p-4 to m-4:

<div class="toast m-4">
    <!-- Toast content goes here -->
</div>

Alternative Solutions

1. Absolute Positioning: If the toast container needs to be at a specific position without interfering with other elements, consider absolute positioning.

   <div class="toast fixed top-4 right-4">
       <!-- Toast content goes here -->
   </div>
   

2. Conditional Rendering: Only render the toast container in the DOM when there’s content to show. This will keep it out of the way when not in use.

   if (showToast) {
       return <div className="toast m-4">Alert message</div>;
   }
   

These solutions should prevent interference with clickable areas on the page and improve the user experience by keeping the toast container out of the way until needed.
