[RESOLVED] Disable Li HTML Element

Hello, I'll explain my problem:

I have a image gallery made in Jquery, I have images along with spans that override the whole Image with a black color when the mouse is over them.The image gallery I'm working with makes the images rollover to the sides, and in order for the span to show correctly I must set position property of the container of the images to :Relative, this works fine with Firefox, Chrome, Safari, IE8, but it doesn't work with IE6 (why am I not surprised ?) and I just wanted to know if there is a way on how to make a HTML element be ignored by the browser, so when the user moves the mouse over the element no event is fired ?

Thanks in advanced.
:)

Could you provide a sample page of this?

Thanks for your reply, but I decided to not use what I described here for my web site.
Thanks
