Is it possible for the child of a div set to pointer-events: none
to have pointer events?
I need the div that holds another div to allow pointer events to pass through, but for the div itself to still have events.
Is this possible?
Yes, it's possible, and you basically just described how. Disable it for the parent and enable it for the child.
pointer-events
is supported in almost every browser, including IE11
Please note that pointer-events: all
is for SVG only.
For HTML, only auto
and none
are supported values.
.parent {
pointer-events: none;
}
.child {
pointer-events: auto;
}
<div class="parent">
<a href="#">Parent</a>
<div class="child">
<a href="#">Child</a>
</div>
</div>
