I understand that since the GoE is a <div> containing everything and it is probably something inherent in html that it has a z-position for the entire box. I was just wondering if there was a way to have anything have a larger z-position but be able to click on the things with a lower z-position instead.
The Element renders on top but no box collider for the user to actually click on.

	Sometimes it would be convenient indeed. But it would require a logic like "if no bacground, check underlying items". Or a combination of a key+click to force the selection of underlying elements..

	probably could make it work with a custom javascript element since you could program more advanced behavior. Thanks for helping to come up with solutions for this ridiculous problem, lol.

	Found these links interesting should you want to fashion a workaround. They mention pointer-events CSS property: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3680429/click-through-a-div-to-underlying-elements http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6740242/click-link-below-a-higher-z-index-div

	oh, this is exactly what I was talking about, too bad IE has to ruin everything all the time making us use javascript for it instead of just css. thanks for filling me in.
