However, the W3C spec that defines the `click` event doesn't place any such special preconditions on which elements fire `click` events. Quoting from relevant portions of the spec: https://www.w3.org/TR/uievents/#event-type-click > The click event type must be dispatched on the topmost event target indicated by the pointer, > when the user presses down and releases the primary pointer button, > or otherwise activates the pointer in a manner that simulates such an action. https://www.w3.org/TR/uievents/#glossary-topmost-event-target > topmost event target > The *topmost event target* must be the element highest in the rendering order which is capable of being an event target. > In graphical user interfaces this is the element under the user's pointing device.
