The [http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/ SVG specification] introduced the '[http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/interact.html#PointerEventsProperty pointer-events]' property to provide SVG authors with more control over when and which parts of an element can be the target of a pointer event. This document discusses the use of the 'pointer-events' property , and how it might work in HTML, since (HTML authors have been asking for 'pointer-events' like functionality since forever). == pointer-events in SVG 1.1 == The pointer-events property determines which areas of an element can intercept a pointer event, and under what conditions.The following table summarizes the SVG 1.1 values. <code> value areas hit and conditions for a hit ----- ---------------------------------- auto /* like 'visiblePainted', like 'none' on outer-<svg> */ visiblePainted fill if(fill:!none), stroke if(stroke:!none), requires(visibility:visible) painted fill if(fill:!none), stroke if(stroke:!none) visible *, require(visibility:visible) visibleFill fill, requires(visibility:visible) visibleStroke stroke, requires(visibility:visible) fill fill stroke stroke all * none -</code>
