pointer-events
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The pointer-events
attribute is a presentation attribute that allows defining whether or when an element may be the target of a mouse event.
Note:
As a presentation attribute, pointer-events
also has a CSS property counterpart: pointer-events
. When both are specified, the CSS property takes priority.
You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:
Example
html,
body,
svg {
height: 100%;
}
html
<svg viewBox="0 0 20 10" xmlns="https://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<!--
The circle will always intercept the mouse event.
To change the color of the rect underneath you have
to click outside the circle
-->
<rect x="0" y="0" height="10" width="10" fill="black" />
<circle cx="5" cy="5" r="4" fill="white" pointer-events="visiblePainted" />
<!--
The circle below will never catch a mouse event.
The rect underneath will change color whether you
are clicking on the circle or the rect itself
-->
<rect x="10" y="0" height="10" width="10" fill="black" />
<circle cx="15" cy="5" r="4" fill="white" pointer-events="none" />
</svg>
js
window.addEventListener("mouseup", (e) => {
// Let's pick a random color between #000000 and #FFFFFF
const color = Math.round(Math.random() * 0xffffff);
// Let's format the color to fit CSS requirements
const fill = `#${color.toString(16).padStart(6, "0")}`;
// Let's apply our color in the
// element we actually clicked on
e.target.style.fill = fill;
});
