My overlay is not working!

Hello

I have written the same codes as the Instructor yet my overlay is not working. When I click on each image instead of showing the image as overlay (on other images,) the clicked image (with a black background) is appearing just under the image gallery. Please help me fix this problem. Here is the codes:

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

$overlay.append($image);

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

$overlay.append($caption);

$("#imageGallery a").click(function(event){ event.preventDefault(); var imageLocation = $(this).attr("href");//rename href to imagelocation $image.attr("src", imageLocation);

$overlay.show();

var captionText = $(this).children("img").attr("alt"); $caption.text(captionText);

});

$overlay.click(function(){ $overlay.hide();

});
