581 Points$overlay.append(); is not a function
When I go to check it out in the browser, clicking on the image just takes me to the dead end. The console.log says that $image.append(): is not a function. I've looked at it a bunch of times and I'm pretty certain that's what is shown in the video and it works fine. Not really sure where to go from here.

581 Pointsthis is the full code:
//problem: clicking on image ends in dead end, which is a poor user experience //solution: create overlay with the large image ie lightbox
var $overlay = ('<div id="overlay"></div>'); var $image = $("<img>");
//an image to overlay $overlay.append($image);
// add overlay $("body").append($overlay);
//add image //add a caption
// capture click event on a link to an image $("#imageGallery a").click(function(event){ event.preventDefault(); var imageLocation = $(this).attr("href"); //1.2 update overlay with the image linked in the link $image.attr("src", imageLocation);
// show the overlay $overlay.fadeIn();
//1.3 get child's alt attr and set caption
});
//3. when overlay is clicked $overlay.click(function(){ $(overlay).fadeOut
}); //3.1 hide the overlay

581 Pointsok, so now it works. i haven't changed anything, but no errors come up in the console.log. maybe i just had to clear the cache?
