I have a div that is positioned to the bottom of the page and sits above everything on the page. I include a shadow to remove the harsh cutoff of the content below. However,
If browser support is not a probleme fore you, you can use the CSS properties pointer-events
.bottom-wrap { pointer-events:none; }
But to make the content inside active, you need to reset it like that :
.bottom-wrap .bottom { pointer-events:auto; }
