Make overlay background click-through-able [duplicate]

by

I’ve fixed your problem by adding pointer-events: none; to the absolute block.

body {
  margin: 0;
  padding-left: 10px;
  font: 20px Arial, sans-serif;
  line-height: 30px;
}
a:hover {
  color: red;
}
#overlay-blocking,
#overlay-passing{
  position: absolute;
  height: 30px;
  width: 10em;
  left: 0;
}

#overlay-blocking {
  top: 30px;
  background: rgba(0,100,0, .2);    
  pointer-events: none;
}
#overlay-passing {
  top: 0;
  background: rgba(100,0,0, .2);    
}
<a href="#">Link blocked</a><br>
<a href="#" title="hoverable">Link available</a><br>
<a href="#" title="hoverable">Link available</a><br>    

<div id="overlay-blocking"></div>
<div id="overlay-passing"></div>
