The simplest CSS solution would be to add pointer-events: none to the pseudo element. In doing so, you can click through the element because mouse events are removed. Updated Example .select:after { position:absolute; bottom:.15em; top:.15em; right:.5rem; content:’\2193′; pointer-events: none; } (Just take browser support for the property into consideration.)
Similar to Alvaro Menendez’s answer, credit needs to go to this answer stackoverflow.com/a/29997746/3400962 by Qwertman. I got as far as using the “padding percentage” trick, but this answer’s clever use of viewport units is crucial to this working.

Since node version 0.12.0 you can use the path.isAbsolute(path) function from the path module. i.e: var path = require(‘path’); if(path.isAbsolute(myPath)) { //… }

Whenever positioning anything absolutely, you need one of the parent or ancestor containers to be positioned relative (or anything other than the default position of static) as this will make the item be positioned absolute to the ancestor container that is positioned. As you had no positioned elements, … Read more
yourbox{ position:absolute; right:<x>px; top :<x>px; } positions it in the right corner. Note, that the position is dependent of the first ancestor-element which is not static positioned! EDIT: I updated your fiddle.
Remove z-index:0; from .absolute. Updated fiddle here.
2022 UPDATE. This answer is nearly 10 years old. When it was written we didn’t have layout technologies like Flex or Grid available (they were dark, hacky/fun times). Thankfully things have massively improved. Jöcker’s answer shows you how to achieve this layout with Grid. If you can live with not supporting legacy browsers, do that … Read more
