16,608 Pointsjquery lightbox task my code renders differently
I am trying to complete this task and I think I follow it so far but my overlay does not show any transparency and when I first clicked on it the image was not displaying in top left as it is in the video. I'm missing something but I've no idea what.
My app.js code is:
//Problem: User when clicking on image goes to a dead end
//Solution: Create an overlay with the large image - Lightbox
var $overlay = $('<div id="overlay"></div>');
var $image = S("<img>");
$overlay.append($image);
// Add an image to overlay
$("body").append($overlay);
// An image
// A captions
// Capture the click event on a link to an image
$("#imageGallery a").click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault(); // prevents default browser behaviour
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();
});
