In this article, we will show you how to use JavaScript and CSS to create an image popup.

Image Assets:

HTML Code:

<!--Trigger Popup - Change the image to your image URL--> <img id="myImg" src="img.jpg" alt="Text description information" width="300" height="200"> <!--Popup--> <div id="myModal" class="modal"> <!--Close Button--> <span class="close" onclick="document.getElementById('myModal').style.display='none'">&times;</span> <!--Popup Content--> <img class="modal-content" id="img01"> <!--Text Description--> <div id="caption"></div> </div>

CSS Code:

/*Styles for the popup-triggering image*/ #myImg { border-radius: 5px; cursor: pointer; transition: 0.3s; } #myImg:hover {opacity: 0.7;} /*Popup Background*/ .modal { display: none; /* Hidden by default */ position: fixed; /* Stay in place */ z-index: 1; /* Sit on top */ padding-top: 100px; /* Location of the box */ left: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; /* Full width */ height: 100%; /* Full height */ overflow: auto; /* Enable scroll if needed */ background-color: rgb(0,0,0); /* Fallback color */ background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.9); /* Black w/ opacity */ } /*Image*/ .modal-content { margin: auto; display: block; width: 80%; max-width: 700px; } /*Text Content*/ #caption { margin: auto; display: block; width: 80%; max-width: 700px; text-align: center; color: #ccc; padding: 10px 0; height: 150px; } /*Add Animation*/ .modal-content, #caption { -webkit-animation-name: zoom; -webkit-animation-duration: 0.6s; animation-name: zoom; animation-duration: 0.6s; } @-webkit-keyframes zoom { from {-webkit-transform:scale(0)} to {-webkit-transform:scale(1)} } @keyframes zoom { from {transform:scale(0)} to {transform:scale(1)} } /*Close Button*/ .close { position: absolute; top: 15px; right: 35px; color: #f1f1f1; font-size: 40px; font-weight: bold; transition: 0.3s; } .close:hover, .close:focus { color: #bbb; text-decoration: none; cursor: pointer; } /*On small screens, the image width is 100%*/ @media only screen and (max-width: 700px){ .modal-content { width: 100%; } }

JavaScript Code:

//Get the popup var modal = document.getElementById('myModal'); //Get the image and insert it into the popup - use the "alt" attribute as the content of the text section var img = document.getElementById('myImg'); var modalImg = document.getElementById("img01"); var captionText = document.getElementById("caption"); img.onclick = function(){ modal.style.display = "block"; modalImg.src = this.src; captionText.innerHTML = this.alt; } //Get the <span> element to set up the close button var span = document.getElementsByClassName("close")[0]; //When clicking (x), close the popup span.onclick = function() { modal.style.display = "none"; }
