Yes, but "pointer-events" lets you click behind the rest of the navigation bar. So you can still click the stuff to the left/right of the dropdown menus. Essentially, it allows you to virtually get rid of the rest of the navigation bar while maintaining the default behavior for the visible components. Of course, it is up to you which you prefer. As you noted, they do not achieve identical behavior. As I mentioned, I only posted that in case people are interested in shorter alternative.
