15,198 PointsImages are not appearing on the overlay
For some reason my images are not appearing on the overlay, as I click on them. Am I missing something?
app.js file:
//Problem: Image leads to a dead end;
//Solution: Create an overlay with the large image - Lightbox;
var $overlay = $('<div id="overlay"></div>');
var $image = $("<img>");
// an image;
$overlay.append($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("scr", imageLocation);
//show the overlay;
$overlay.show();
//c) Get child's attribute and set caption.
});
//When Overlay is clicked:
$overlay.click(function() {
//Hide the Overlay
$overlay.hide();
});

230,688 PointsOn line 19 of app.js, instead of updating the overlay by setting the "src" attribute, this code sets the "scr" attribute instead.
