Why the screen not turn blak?

overlay {

background::rgba(0,0,0,0.7); width::100%; height:100%; position:absolute; top:0; left:0; }

var $overlay = $('<div id="overlay"></div>');

$("body").append($overlay);

$("#imageGallery a").click(function(event){ event.preventDefault(); var href = $(this).attr("href"); $overlay.show();

<div id="imageGallery"><a href="#">overlay</a></div>

.overlay{
    display: none;
    background:rgba(0,0,0,0.7); 
    width:100%; 
    height:100%; 
    position:absolute; 
    top:0; 
    left:0; 
}  

$("#imageGallery a").click(function(event){ 
    event.preventDefault(); 

    var $overlay = $('<div class="overlay"></div>');
    $('body').append($overlay); 
    $overlay.fadeIn();
});
