// Problem: User when clicking on image goes to dead end // Solution: create an overlay with a large image - Lightbox var overlay = $('<div id="overlay"></div>'); var $image = $("<img>");

// An image to overlay $overlay.append($image);

// Add overlay $("body").append($overlay); // A caption

// Capture the click event on a link to an image $("#imageGallery a").click(function(event){ event.preventDefault(); var imageLocation = $(this).attr("href");

// Update overlay with the image linked in the link $image.attr("src",imageLocation);

// Show the overlay. $overlay.show();

// Get child's alt attribute and set caption });

// When overlay is clicked $overlay.click(function(){

// Hide the overlay $overlay.hide(); });

When posting code, use the instructions for code formatting in the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up below the "Add an Answer" area. :arrow_heading_down:

But for something that uses so many additional resources, it would be even better to make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.
