Still struggleing with a solution for this. My knowledge of event handeling clearly isnt good enough;
a) Is it possible to pass an event (or all events) to a parent/ container element and have it automaticaly passed on to all its children? b) would this event be triggered under the normal conditions of the children, or would it just trigger under the parents conditions. That is, if I pass a event that happens to be a mouse over event from parent to child, would it trigger if the mouse isnt actualy over the child? (but merely over the parent). Or would it still correctly only fire if its over the child. My end goal remains the same; a method to have a overlay which doesnt block the event handeling of elements under it. I'm hoping its possible by somehow passing events down from the overlay to, say, a container with everything else. The long winded way to do it seems to be manualy checking all the elements, their co-ordinates, and calculating mouse over/out/click events myself. Surely theres an easier method?
