8,744 PointsMy code answers the challenge, but the workspace keeps rejecting it.
Challenge 2 of 2 asks us to fix the caption to read from "Space Juice" to "Space Juice by Matt Helme", in other words, change the attribute from value of "alt" to value of "title". However, the image renders the caption "Space Juice by Matt Helme" already without altering the values. When you change the value from "alt" to "title", the code-checker responds with "Oops! Task 1 is no longer passing." What's up?
//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 = $("<img>");
var $caption = $("<p></p>");
//An image to overlay
$overlay.append($image);
//A caption to overlay
$overlay.append($caption);
//Add overlay
$("body").append($overlay);
//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("src", imageLocation);
//Show the overlay.
$overlay.show();
//Get child's title attribute and set caption
var captionText = $(this).children("img").attr("alt");
$caption.text(captionText);
});
//When overlay is clicked
$overlay.click(function(){
//Hide the overlay
$overlay.hide();
});

9,737 PointsAs you stated line 28 should be:
var captionText = $(this).children("img").attr("title");
The reason you get the task about task 1 failing is you have added a "$" to the event object inside the event handler here:
$event.preventDefault();
All you need to do is remove the "$". If you look at the line directly above it you will see the event object is passed into the function as it should with out the "$". You need to keep referring to the event object in this way.
