Hi&nbsp;Eric,&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;I&nbsp;am&nbsp;afraid&nbsp;it&nbsp;is&nbsp;hard&nbsp;to&nbsp;do&nbsp;this.&nbsp;I&nbsp;will&nbsp;let&nbsp;our&nbsp;development&nbsp;team&nbsp;have&nbsp;another&nbsp;test&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;don’t&nbsp;have&nbsp;too&nbsp;much&nbsp;confidence&nbsp;on&nbsp;this.&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;BTW,&nbsp;we&nbsp;are&nbsp;using&nbsp;Openlayers&nbsp;as&nbsp;the&nbsp;client&nbsp;map&nbsp;render&nbsp;engine&nbsp;in&nbsp;case&nbsp;you&nbsp;can&nbsp;have&nbsp;any&nbsp;insights&nbsp;on&nbsp;this.&nbsp;  
&nbsp;Thanks,&nbsp;

Hello&nbsp;Troy,  
  
  
  
Thank&nbsp;you&nbsp;for&nbsp;your&nbsp;reply.&nbsp;I&nbsp;have&nbsp;already&nbsp;implement&nbsp;right&nbsp;click&nbsp;event&nbsp;by&nbsp;using&nbsp;that&nbsp;code.  
  
But  
my&nbsp;issue&nbsp;is&nbsp;different.&nbsp;Issue&nbsp;is&nbsp;like&nbsp;I&nbsp;have&nbsp;done&nbsp;reverse&nbsp;geocoding&nbsp;on  
right&nbsp;click&nbsp;its&nbsp;working&nbsp;perfectly&nbsp;now&nbsp;when&nbsp;I&nbsp;do&nbsp;reverse&nbsp;geocoding&nbsp;it  
return&nbsp;me&nbsp;one&nbsp;location&nbsp;and&nbsp;open&nbsp;Cloudpopup&nbsp;on&nbsp;the&nbsp;map&nbsp;till&nbsp;here&nbsp;its  
prefect.&nbsp;Now&nbsp;when&nbsp;I&nbsp;right&nbsp;click&nbsp;near&nbsp;to&nbsp;CloudPopup&nbsp;which&nbsp;opens&nbsp;on  
reverse&nbsp;geocoding&nbsp;than&nbsp;it&nbsp;does&nbsp;not&nbsp;trigger&nbsp;function&nbsp;for&nbsp;reverse  
geocoding.  
  
  
  
I&nbsp;have&nbsp;attached&nbsp;image&nbsp;for&nbsp;that.  
  
  
  
When&nbsp;you&nbsp;open&nbsp;image&nbsp;you&nbsp;can&nbsp;see&nbsp;that&nbsp;I&nbsp;have&nbsp;marked&nbsp;some&nbsp;area&nbsp;with&nbsp;Black  
border&nbsp;in&nbsp;image&nbsp;so&nbsp;now&nbsp;when&nbsp;I&nbsp;right&nbsp;click&nbsp;on&nbsp;that&nbsp;area&nbsp;than&nbsp;it&nbsp;does&nbsp;not  
trigger&nbsp;map’s&nbsp;right&nbsp;click&nbsp;event&nbsp;which&nbsp;I&nbsp;have&nbsp;register.&nbsp;So&nbsp;is&nbsp;there&nbsp;any  
way&nbsp;to&nbsp;achieve&nbsp;that.  
  
  
  
Please&nbsp;check&nbsp;image&nbsp;and&nbsp;let&nbsp;me&nbsp;know.  
  
  
  
Thank&nbsp;you.  
  
Eric.

Hi&nbsp;Eric,  
  
  
  
Thanks&nbsp;for&nbsp;your&nbsp;image,&nbsp;it’s&nbsp;very&nbsp;clear&nbsp;for&nbsp;us.&nbsp;  
  
In&nbsp;order&nbsp;to&nbsp;go&nbsp;though&nbsp;the&nbsp;Clouldpopup&nbsp;div&nbsp;click&nbsp;events,&nbsp;a&nbsp;workaround&nbsp;is&nbsp;we&nbsp;can&nbsp;set&nbsp;pointerEvents&nbsp;to&nbsp;‘none’&nbsp;for&nbsp;the&nbsp;popup&nbsp;container.&nbsp;Please&nbsp;try&nbsp;the&nbsp;below&nbsp;codes:

> `function ConfiguratePopupClickEvent() {`  
> `        ``var popupDivs = document.getElementsByClassName(‘olPopup’);`  
> `        ``if (popupDivs) {`  
> `            ``for (var i = 0; i < popupDivs.length; i++) {`  
> `                ``popupDivs<i>.style.pointerEvents = ‘none’;`  
> &nbsp;  
> `                ``for (var j = 0; j < popupDivs<i>.firstChild.childNodes.length; j++) {`  
> `                    ``var childElement = popupDivs<i>.firstChild.childNodes[j];`  
> &nbsp;  
> `                    ``if (childElement.id.indexOf(‘FrameDecorationDiv_4’) < 0) {`  
> `                        ``childElement.style.pointerEvents = ‘auto’;`  
> `                    ``}`  
> `                ``}`  
> `            ``}`  
> `        ``}`  
> `}`

  
From&nbsp;the&nbsp;above&nbsp;codes,&nbsp;we&nbsp;add&nbsp;more&nbsp;codes&nbsp;to&nbsp;avoid&nbsp;the&nbsp;mouse&nbsp;events&nbsp;will&nbsp;go&nbsp;though&nbsp;all&nbsp;the&nbsp;popup&nbsp;divs&nbsp;rather&nbsp;than&nbsp;the&nbsp;highlight&nbsp;div&nbsp;where&nbsp;you&nbsp;pointed&nbsp;out.  
  
  
  
Please&nbsp;let&nbsp;us&nbsp;know&nbsp;if&nbsp;it&nbsp;works.  
  
Thanks,  
  
Troy

Sorry&nbsp;Troy,&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;Its&nbsp;working&nbsp;only&nbsp;in&nbsp;IE10&nbsp;and&nbsp;that&nbsp;also&nbsp;working&nbsp;without&nbsp;the&nbsp;function&nbsp;that&nbsp;you&nbsp;provided.&nbsp;And&nbsp;where&nbsp;I&nbsp;have&nbsp;to&nbsp;call&nbsp;this&nbsp;function&nbsp;actually&nbsp;I&nbsp;am&nbsp;calling&nbsp;this&nbsp;function&nbsp;at&nbsp;call&nbsp;back&nbsp;event&nbsp;when&nbsp;I&nbsp;add&nbsp;marker&nbsp;in&nbsp;SimpleMarkerOverlay&nbsp;at&nbsp;javascript.&nbsp;  
&nbsp;And&nbsp;I&nbsp;got&nbsp;error&nbsp;like&nbsp;“Unable&nbsp;to&nbsp;set&nbsp;property&nbsp;‘pointerEvents’&nbsp;of&nbsp;undefined&nbsp;or&nbsp;null&nbsp;reference”.&nbsp;so&nbsp;did&nbsp;I&nbsp;miss&nbsp;placed&nbsp;the&nbsp;function.&nbsp;Let&nbsp;me&nbsp;know&nbsp;your&nbsp;review&nbsp;about&nbsp;this&nbsp;and&nbsp;let&nbsp;me&nbsp;know&nbsp;if&nbsp;you&nbsp;need&nbsp;code&nbsp;for&nbsp;this.&nbsp;

Hi&nbsp;Eric,  
  
  
  
I&nbsp;figure&nbsp;out&nbsp;a&nbsp;better&nbsp;solution&nbsp;without&nbsp;any&nbsp;java&nbsp;script&nbsp;codes&nbsp;by&nbsp;using&nbsp;CSS,&nbsp;in&nbsp;this&nbsp;way,&nbsp;we&nbsp;can&nbsp;drop&nbsp;the&nbsp;complex&nbsp;java&nbsp;script&nbsp;provided&nbsp;before:

> `<style type=`\<code style="color: blue;"\>"text/css"`<code style="color: #000000;">>    .olPopup {        pointer-events: none;    }     .olFramedCloudPopupContent {        pointer-events: all;    }</style>`

`I tested it in Chrome and Firforx, IE. Chrome and FireForx works fine.In IE browser, no matter this solution or the previous one, the event still can’t go though one corner with point-events and I believe this is related with IE events strategy. The wrong corner is like the below green rectangle. Please let me know if any questions.Thanks,Troy`
