“pointer-events: none” does not work in IE9 and IE10

Question

The CSS - property pointer-events: none; works fine in Firefox, but it does not in Internet Explorer 9-10.

Is there a way to achieve the same behaviour

Answer 1

For crappy IE10, there is another solution, example :

/* must be over the element that have the action */

.action-container:after {
    content: ' ';
    position: absolute;
    width: 100%; 
    height: 100%;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    z-index: 250; 
    background-color: grey; /* must have a color on ie10, if not :after does not exist... */
    opacity: 0;
}
