I want to know why does the overlay show page without a click .

I want the image to show on the overlay and what is happening is just the overlay is showing without a click / and its showing as soon as the page loads / and it doesn't allow me to choose a pic , because the overlay automatically shows as the page loads . why is this ?

     var $image = $("<img>");



     var $overlay = $('<div id="overlay"></div>');

      $overlay.append($image);

     $("body").append($overlay);


      $(".pic-nav li img ").click( function(e) {

           e.preventDefault();

           var loc = $(this).attr("src");

            $image.attr("src", loc);


          $overlay.show();

      });

          ```js

 the code.

Unless it's in the CSS (not included), you didn't do anything to conceal it initially. One way to do that would be to call the .hide() method on it as you create it like this:

     var $overlay = $('<div id="overlay" style="display:none"></div>');
