Jquery Lightbox not working

Hi,

So I'm having some issues with Jquery, I've successfully managed to get my overlay to fade in and out when clicking but I can't get the image to show with the overlay. If anyone could be of assistance that would be great! Thanks in advance!

Below is a snippet of my code

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

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


     $('.box').click(function(event){
      $($overlay).fadeIn();
      $($image).show();


    })


        $overlay.click(function(){
      $overlay.fadeOut();
      $('#overlay .btn').hide();
    })

  });       

<div class="img-gallery">
            <div class="wrap">
            <h1>Gallery</h1>
            <h2>Collection of images of Phoenix Yoga</h2>


                <div class="box">
                <div class="inner-content">
                    <div  class="img"><img class="img-overlay" src="img/yoga-7.png">
                        <div class="overlay">
                            <p class="overlay-text"></p>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </div>
                </div>

Hey!

First try to fix var $image = $('<div id"img-overlay"</div>'); to var $image = $('<div id"img-overlay"></div>');

You forgot a > there!
