canvas, transparency, and clicking

I'm using canvas to draw shapes on screen (to highlight items of
interest). All's working fine until a circle is drawn around a button
the user needs to click. The canvas "covers" the button so it's
impossible for the user to click it.

Is there a way to pass a mouse click to an element underneath a clicked
element (and underneath the current cursor position?)

Try '<button><canvas></canvas></button>'.
The button-click should go through.
