This document describes how the SVG pointer-events property is extended for use in (X)HTML content.
In different circumstances, authors may want to control under what circumstances particular elements can become the target of pointer events. For example, the author might want a given element to ignore pointer events under all circumstances so that elements underneath the given element will become the target of pointer events.
The 'pointer-events' property specifies under what circumstances a given element can be the target element for a pointer event. It affects the circumstances under which the following are processed:
The pointer-events property was originally defined for SVG content and, as such, accepts property values specific to vector graphics (eg. relating to graphical fill and stroke). The following definition only applies to the property when used with HTML content. Note that the property has a new initial value, "auto", which behaves as "visiblePainted" in SVG content and "visible" in non-SVG content.
| Value: | auto | visible | none | visiblePainted | visibleFill | visibleStroke | painted | fill | stroke | all |
| Initial: | auto |
| Applies to: | all elements |
| Inherited: | yes |
| Percentages: | N/A |
| Media: | visual |
