I have a drop down navigation menu in which some of the title should not navigate to other page when clicked(these title open a drop down menu when clicked on) while others should navigate (these dont have dropdown and navigate directly).However, both types have href defined to them

To solve this i added the following css for the former type of titles

pointer-events: none;

and it is working fine.But since this property is not supported by IE, i am looking for some work-around.
The annoying thing is that i don’t have access and privilege to change the HTML and JavaScript code completely.

Any ideas?

    Pointer-events is a Mozilla hack and where it has been implemented in Webkit browsers, you can’t expect to see it in IE browsers for another million years.

    There is however a solution I found:

    Forwarding Mouse Events Through Layers

    This uses a plugin that uses some not well known/understood properties of Javascript to take the mouse event and send it to another element.

    There is also another Javascript solution here.

    Update for October 2013: apparently it’s coming to IE in v11. Source. Thanks Tim.
