Solution: Create an overlay with the large image?

The problem and solution is what I understand. The goal is te prevent a dead end after clicking on an image.

Then why create an overlay, what is an overlay in this context?

Create an overlay with an larger image? Why is that, the image is allready there, we just want to prevent that you can click on it and have to click back, in order to keep the site user friendly.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I obviously has very little context into what you're doing but what you've said makes sense. Im not quite sure what you're asking about the overlay ? Why have it ? As you said to prevent / cover the default behaviour ? Is it coloured ? Perhaps the overlay is for UX purposes ?
