4,615 PointsWhen I change background: black to rgba: (0,0,0,0,7); I can't click on the images and the overlay won't work
App.js file :
//Problem: The user when clicking on image goes to a bad end //Solution: Create an overlay with the large image - Lightbox var $overlay = $('<div id="overlay"></div>'); //Add overlay $("body").append($overlay); //An image //A Caption
//Capture the click event on a link to an image $("#imageGallery a").click(function(event) { event.preventDefault(); var href = $(this).attr("href"); $overlay.show(); //Show the Overlay //Update overlay with the image linked in the link //Get child's alt attribute and set caption
});
//When Overlay is clicked //Hide the overlay

7,192 PointsIt looks you used a common in your RGBA (0,0,0,0,7) however it should be a period between the 0 and 7 (0,0,0,0.7). That may be the problem!

26,726 PointsIn your css you need to set #overlay to display: none;
when you click on an image your javascript will execute the .show(); function which what it does is it changes the css of #overlay to display: block;
