  1. I'm a retired programmer and haven't kept up with the latest techniques. I see many web pages these days that show a photo in a new way; i.e., when I click on it, it pops up in a larger format (size) and the area surrounding gets darkened. While in this mode, the user can only hit ESC key to get back to viewing thumbnails. I'm sure there is a tutorial here on how to code it but perhaps someone can save me a little time and point me in the right direction. I'm fairly familiar with jQuery and plain HTML but I've been unable to find info on this code -- primarily because I don't know what to search for. Tried to read the source code of some pages, but they are mostly unreadable. TIA, Pete
  2. I'm doing a travel blog and want to enable viewers to be able to click on a small image and see a bigger one. I now use an anchor tag with target _blank which causes the large photo to be shown on a separate tab. This, in turn requires the viewer to manually delete the tab(s). I would like to use the method I see on many web pages where the blog page stays visible, but "grayed" out, while the large image is shown in the middle of the window. The user then has to click something (or press Esc key) to get back to the main page. Can anyone guide me in the right direction? TIA,PeteP.S. I'm using HTML5, jQuery (just a beginner) and js.
