Ignore mouse interaction on overlay image

The CSS solution to layering overlays

Incorporate your overlay into your application using the background-image property. It's like fitting the last piece into a jigsaw puzzle - seamless integration!

.jigsaw-piece {
  background-image: url('overlay.png');
  background-repeat: no-repeat; /* Because you only had one piece left, right? */
  width: 100px;  /* Adjust according to your puzzle size */
  position: absolute;  /* You decide where the piece fits */
  z-index: 10;  /* Always on top, like cream on coffee */
}


Adjust the width as needed and use position: absolute to ensure precise placement. This technique is spot on for decorative elements and ensures users can still interact with content below.

Interaction management

Ensure your overlay does not obstruct clickable elements on your page. Here's what a naval commander (or any web developer, really) would command:

<div class="see-through"></div>


.see-through {
  position: absolute;
  width: 100%;  /* Formulate your defense strategy */
  height: 100%; /* Cover your territory */
  pointer-events: none;  /* Missiles (clicks) pass through */
  z-index: 20;  /* Higher than the overlay, lower than the clickable elements */
}


All hands on deck when testing these properties across different browsers. Some, like the infamous IE, handle z-index differently.

Positioning and functionality

To ensure consumer satisfaction (quoting every restaurant owner ever), a menu-item with an image can be implemented like this:

<li class="menu-item">  /* A delicious burger, perhaps */
  <img src="menu-burger.png" class="pure-magic" alt="">
  <!-- Don't forget the secret sauce -->
</li>


Capture direct user interactions using the onclick attribute for more flavorful experiences. All while ensuring we don't spoil the essence - accessibility.

Pixel-perfect implementation

Debugger asks you to avoid redundant JavaScript where CSS can do the job, and Debugger is usually right. It not only keeps the code cleaner but also makes it CMS-friendly, especially for platforms like Joomla.

Punching in the right values for z-index and setting position: absolute at the optimal place ensure minimal interference with the menu-items - keeping the customer satisfied.

And remember, a transparent div can capture click events and handle them as desired. A superhero in disguise!

Register your click events where it matters and remember, with precise position: absolute, balance is key, just like riding a bicycle!
