Can I use pointer-events: none; to enable clicking on a Slider button that is underneath a transparent div in Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Identify the transparent div covering the slider button and ensure it is the one to be made non-interactive.
  • In Webflow's Designer, select this div, open the Custom CSS section, and add pointer-events: none; to make it non-interactive.
  • Check and adjust the z-index to maintain the correct visual order and ensure the slider button is clickable.
  • Preview the site to confirm the solution works and does not affect other interactive elements.

To enable clicking on a Slider button that is underneath a transparent div using pointer-events: none; in Webflow, follow these steps.

​

1. Identify the Transparent Div

  • Locate the transparent div that is covering the slider button in your Webflow project.
  • Ensure that this div is the one you intend to become non-interactive.

​

2. Apply the CSS Style

  • Go to the Designer in Webflow.
  • Select the transparent div to which you want to apply the style.
  • In the Style panel, open the Custom CSS section.
  • Add the CSS style by writing: pointer-events: none;.
  • This makes the transparent div non-interactive, allowing clicks to go through to underlying elements like the slider button.

​

3. Ensure Proper Layering

  • Check the z-index of elements to ensure the slider button is below the transparent div.
  • Adjust z-index if needed to maintain the correct visual order while allowing interactions as intended.

​

4. Test the Interaction

  • Preview your site in Webflow to confirm that the slider button is now clickable.
  • Make sure the transparent div does not interfere with any other interactive elements.

​

Summary

Applying pointer-events: none; to a transparent div ensures clicks pass through to elements below, like a slider button, in Webflow. Follow this by checking layer order and testing to ensure functionality.
