css ‘pointer-events’ property alternative for IE

by

Pointer-events is a Mozilla hack and where it has been implemented in Webkit browsers, you can’t expect to see it in IE browsers for another million years.

There is however a solution I found:

Forwarding Mouse Events Through Layers

This uses a plugin that uses some not well known/understood properties of Javascript to take the mouse event and send it to another element.

There is also another Javascript solution here.

Update for October 2013: apparently it’s coming to IE in v11. Source. Thanks Tim.
