How do I open / enlarge
an image in a modal using jquery / js and not data attributes?
Anytime a user inserts an image into a content editor I need it to be clickable to expand in a modal with js, so I cannot rely on the user to input data attributes they don't know how to use.
I tried:-
<a href="/myImage.png" id="pop">
<img src="/myImage.png" style="width: 400px; height: 264px;">
Click to Enlarge
</a>
jQuery :-
$("#pop").on("click", function() {
$(this).modal();
});
Do I need to add info to the jquery to pass the image source to appear in the modal?
Thank you!!!
You can try this code if you are using bootstrap 3:
HTML
<a href="#" id="pop">
<img id="imageresource" src="http://patyshibuya.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/04.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 264px;">
Click to Enlarge
</a>
<!-- Creates the bootstrap modal where the image will appear -->
<div class="modal fade" id="imagemodal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span><span class="sr-only">Close</span></button>
<h4 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel">Image preview</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<img src="" id="imagepreview" style="width: 400px; height: 264px;" >
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
JavaScript:
$("#pop").on("click", function() {
$('#imagepreview').attr('src', $('#imageresource').attr('src')); // here asign the image to the modal when the user click the enlarge link
$('#imagemodal').modal('show'); // imagemodal is the id attribute assigned to the bootstrap modal, then i use the show function
});
This is the working fiddle. Hope this helps :)
