Passing mouse clicks through an overlaying element <div>
Is it possible to click the link below the red square without javascript? The red div doesn't need to be clickable.

#bottom{
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: orange;
}
#top{
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
position: absolute;
left:0;
top:0;
background-color: rgba(255,0,0,.5);
}
The CSS method to do this is pointer-events: none
See: http://jsfiddle.net/LNwHV/1/
Browser support: http://caniuse.com/pointer-events (works everywhere except IE10 and older)
To support old versions of IE, you'll have to use JavaScript as a fallback.
