How to Detect Clicks on CSS Pseudo-Elements

1. 1Create a CSS pseudo-element using the :before or :after selector to add a close button to a modal
2. 2Use the pointer-events property to enable click events on the pseudo-element
3. 3Add a click event listener to the pseudo-element using JavaScript
4. 4Configure the event listener to trigger a function when the pseudo-element is clicked
5. 5Test the click event by logging a message to the console or triggering an action
