OH!, I saw it in safari when I viewed your link. Safari 6.2 Mac OS 10.8.5 >From what I read, pointer-events: works mostly with SVG but it also controls >the click of an object and all its children. So if you put pointer-events:none; on an element, it and all its children are un-clickable. However if you wish for a child to still be clickable but not its parent, then you reset it with pointer-events: auto;. Once you put pointer-events:auto on that child, all children in that child element are clickable and so forth. It has come in handy for me for example, on those curtains I was working on a while ago. I didn't want users to click/drag them but still have things behind them clickable. pointer-events:none in essence, with how I was using it, made a div able to be clicked "through". Like it wasn't there. Pretty nifty trick. :) Best, Karl DeSaulniers Design Drumm http://designdrumm.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
