Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 8,596 Pointsoverlay shows up before click? EDIT: Workspace issue -clear cache
EDIT: literally copied and pasted from the project files and they will not work in my browser chrome, I guess I'll avoid workspaces.
EDIT 2: cleared the cache a couple times and now it works
my project is the same code as his from the video, but my overlay shows up right as the page loads. I don't see how. p.s. the code markup isn't working either...

//Problem user shouldn't go to a new page dead end when clicking image //solution- create overlay w large image
var $overlay = $('<div id="overlay"></div>'); var $image = $("<img>");
$overlay.append($image);
// add overlay $("body").append($overlay); // image // caption
// capture click on a link to image $("#imageGallery a").click(function(event){ event.preventDefault(); var imageLocation = $(this).attr("href");
// update overlay with image linked in the link $image.attr("src", imageLocation);

In my case neither Chrome, nor Firefox was showing overlay.
