# pointer-events property

The `pointer-events` property allows you to remove the element’s response to mouse events. The property takes two values. A value of `none` removes the response, and a value of `auto` causes the element to behave as normal (default value).

## Syntax

`selector { pointer-events: none | auto; }`

## Example

In the following example, the link will not respond to hover or click:

`<a href="http://google.com">link</a>` `a { pointer-events: none; }`

:
