Overlay is not working

Whenever I click on an image, it opens in a new page with the white background like there is no code at all.

Just forked your site and it all appears to be working outside of the CSS for the caption text.

It may be a browser related issue. I was going through the course in Chrome, for obvious reasons (V8), and was having the same issue: opens the image in the top-left corner of a new page with white background. I switched to FF and it works correctly. I know there are sometimes issues with caching, but even clearing cache did not work with Chrome. Personally I prefer Chrome, but for this course I think using FF is the better choice since it doesn't seem to have the same inherent issues. Hope this helps.
