+
+<p>Turns out, you can disable pointer events!</p>
+
+<p>In Tailwind, it is as simple as adding <code>pointer-events-none</code> to the bezel screen.</p>
+
+<p>In CSS, this can be done by:</p>
+
+<div class="codehilite">
+<pre><span></span><code><span class="p">.</span><span class="nc">className</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="p">{</span>
+<span class="w"> </span><span class="k">pointer-events</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="kc">none</span>
+<span class="p">}</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Let us try this in a simple example.</p>
+
+<h2 id="example">Example</h2>
+
+<p>Here, we create a button and overlay a transparent box</p>
+
+<div class="codehilite">
+<pre><span></span><code><span class="p">&lt;</span><span class="nt">div</span> <span class="na">style</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">&quot;height: 200px; width: 300px; background-color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.4); z-index: 2; position: absolute;&quot;</span><span class="p">&gt;</span>
+A box with 200px height and 200px width
+<span class="p">&lt;/</span><span class="nt">div</span><span class="p">&gt;</span>
+<span class="p">&lt;</span><span class="nt">button</span> <span class="na">style</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">&quot;z-index: 1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 200px;&quot;</span> <span class="na">onclick</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">&quot;alert(&#39;You were able to click this button&#39;)&quot;</span><span class="p">&gt;</span>Try clicking me<span class="p">&lt;/</span><span class="nt">button</span><span class="p">&gt;</span>
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<hr>
+
+<div style="height: 200px; width: 300px; background-color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.4); z-index: 2; position: absolute;">
+A box with 200px height and 300px width
+</div>
+
+<p><button style="z-index: 1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 200px;" onclick="alert('You were able to click this button')">Try clicking me</button>
+<hr></p>
+
+<p>As you can see, you cannot click the button because the red box comes in the way. We can fix this by adding <code>pointer-events: none</code> to the box. </p>
+
+<div class="codehilite">
+<pre><span></span><code><span class="p">&lt;</span><span class="nt">div</span> <span class="na">style</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">&quot;height: 200px; width: 300px; background-color: rgba(0, 255, 0, 0.4); z-index: 2; position: absolute; pointer-events: none;&quot;</span><span class="p">&gt;</span>
