//Problem: User when clicking on image goes to a dead end
//Solution: Create an overlay with the large image.
var $overlay = $("<div id='overlay'></div>");
var $image = $("<img>");
var $caption = $("<p></p>");
//2. Add an overlay
$("body").append($overlay);
//2.1 An image
$overlay.append($image);
//2.2 Caption
$overlay.append($caption);
//1. Capture the click event on a link to an image
$("#imageGallery a").click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var imageLocation = $(this).attr("href");
var alt = $(this).children().attr("alt");
//1.1 Show the overlay
$overlay.fadeIn();
$image.animate({

height: "fadeIn"
}, 300).attr("src", imageLocation); //1.2 Update overlay with the image linked in the link
//1.3 Get child's alt attribute and set caption
$caption.text(alt);

//3. When overlay is clicked
//3.1 Hide the overlay
$overlay.click(function() {
