CSS pointer-events
pointer-events is a CSS property that allows you to control the behavior of mouse events on elements. By default, all HTML elements can trigger mouse events like clicking or hovering. With pointer-events, you can specify whether an element should respond to these events or not.
The possible values for pointer-events are:
auto: The element behaves as usual, triggering mouse events.none: The element does not trigger any mouse events.visiblePainted: The element triggers mouse events if it is painted (i.e., not transparent).
Let's see some examples to understand how pointer-events works:
In the example above, the button has pointer-events: auto;, so it will respond to mouse events like clicking. Click on the button to see it in action.
In this example, the inner div has pointer-events: none;, so it will not respond to any mouse events, even though it is on top of the outer div. Try clicking on the inner div to see that it doesn't trigger any events.
By using pointer-events, you have more control over how mouse events are handled on your elements. Experiment with different values to see how they affect the interactivity of your website.
