title: CSS - Hover passes through elements to activate hover on covered element
body: <p>I have a page layout involving a lot of position absolute and z-indexing, so there are a lot of elements that are overlapping one another.</p>
  
  <p>One of the elements just contains text and it hovers over top of a lot of other things.</p>
  
  <p>Underneath that element there are several elements that have CSS Hover Pseudo Classes applied.</p>
  
  <p>When the mouse passes over the element containing text, I would like for somehow the Element underneath to respond to the presence of the mouse and activate the pseudo class styles.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to style an element so it allows the hover to pass through it to any elements underneath?</p>
  
  <p>This wouldn't be too hard with JavaScript, but I would rather not go that route at the moment in order to keep things as simple as they can be.  I'll be complicating things with JavaScript enough later.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
  
  <p>P.S. - I'm using HTML5 and CSS3 already, so I would have no problem with solutions utilizing these newer standards.</p>
