why does the overlay fade out when you click on an image considering we set display none in the CSS file?

Great vids. Can you please explain why the overlay appears when you click on an image?

I'm not familiar with the code in this course but I am going to assume that the overlay is being displayed via jQuery.

The jQuery will override the current CSS of display:none to display block when an image is clicked.
