5,403 PointsLightbox won't click away.
At the end of the course I got everything to look and act right. But when I click on an image, the lightbox pops up and no amount of clicking will make it go away. I don't understand what I've done to keep it from going away. Any Help?
var $overlay = $('<div id="overlay"></div>'); var $image = $("<img>"); var $caption = $("<p></p>");
$overlay.append($image);
$overlay.append($caption);
$("body").append($overlay);
$("#imageGallery a").click(function(event) { event.preventDefault(); var imageLocation = $(this).attr("href");
$image.attr("src", imageLocation);
$overlay.show();
var captionText = $(this).children("img").attr("alt"); $caption.text(captionText);
});
$overlay.click(function() { $overlay.hide
});

I think the problem is due to the missing () after .hide in your last function.
Instead of
$overlay.click(function() { $overlay.hide;})
you should write
$overlay.click(function() { $overlay.hide();})
