I would like both, but that is interesting about "pointer-events", I
will read up on it.

That's too bad. I'm working with translucent objects and so I can
still see one behind the other. It seems intuitive that if I can see
it I should be able to mouseover it and have it respond. I guess I'm
thinking that mousing over things with my mouse cursor is the same
sort of interaction as having my shadow move over an object - shadows
go through translucent things - while clicking would be more like
physically touching something.

My intuition leads me to expect that I should be able to mouseover
something that is behind a translucent object but I couldn't click on
it - just like my shadow would go through a glass window but not my
hand! Hmmm...interesting how we subconsciously blend the physical and
digital worlds.

Thanks for the lesson.
