22,831 PointsYou are adding an empy string with the $overlay variable. You should add an id or class instead with the $overlay variable. After that you should add the id or class to your css and give it the: properties like you did.
background: black; width: 100%; height 100%; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; }

22,831 PointsHmm okay you might wnna add a z-index value on your overlay css rule then. z-index: 10; for example

20,907 Pointsfor some reason, it did not copy paste correctly. This is what I have:
var $overlay = $('<div id="overlay"></div>');
$("body").append($overlay);
$("#imageGallery a").click(function(event){ event.preventDefault(); var href = $(this).attr("href"); $overlay.show(); });
