CSS lightbox made with PHP (no JS)

UPDATE: I have solved the problem (although not entirely)...the problem was with my CSS code. I had to add the following to my stylesheet:

.gallery article:target {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    z-index: 1;
}

I am trying to create a lightbox gallery using CSS and PHP. The image is showing and I've successfully hidden the lightbox container <figure> from view.

The problem is that when the photo is clicked nothing happens; the lightbox does not show.

How can I get my lightbox to work?

<ul class="gallery">
                <li>
                    <a href="#img1">
                      <?php echo(types_render_field( "gallery-  image-1", array( "alt" => "blue bird", "width" => "140", "height" => "140", "proportional" => "true" ) )); ?>
                    </a>
                    <article id="img1"><!--<article> acts as the lightbox container-->
                        <figure>
                            <?php echo(types_render_field( "gallery-image-1", array( "alt" => "blue bird", "width" => "140", "height" => "140", "proportional" => "true" ) )); ?>
                        </figure>
                        <nav><!--<nav> adds prev and next options-->
                            <a class="close" href="#close">Close</a>
                            <a class="arrow prev" href="#img15">Previous</a>
                            <a class="arrow next" href="#img2">Next</a>
                        </nav>
                    </article>
                </li>
</ul>
