## Pointer Events
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The `pointer-events` property determines if an element will react to pointer events.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
There are 4 possible values that can be assigned to the `pointer-events` property:
 | 
						|
- `auto`	  Default Setting:  Reacts to `pointer events` like :hover or click. 
 | 
						|
- `none`	  Sets that the element won't react to `pointer-events`
 | 
						|
- `initial`	Uses the default value
 | 
						|
- `inherit`	Inherits from parent 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This property specifies how your mouse reacts when you hover over any element on a page.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Example
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```css
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.example {
 | 
						|
  pointer-events: auto; 
 | 
						|
  /*this will use the default look set by the browser agent*/
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.example {
 | 
						|
  pointer-events: none; 
 | 
						|
  /*this will use the regular mouse look when hovered over the element*/
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Other acceptable values
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Other values could be: `initial`, and `inherit`
