![[Solved] CS6314 Assignment 2-Build a photo gallery using jQuery](https://assignmentchef.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/downloadzip.jpg)
This project will build a photo gallery using jQuery for your travel photo sharing site as shown in following picture.
Requirements
When the document is loaded, you will make an AJAX call, download the data.json file (it contains an array of image objects) and display images on your html page. When the user hovers over the image, you will show the larger version of the image along with the caption. See instructions for details.
Instructions
- Examine htmlin the browser and then editor. You have been supplied with the appropriate CSS (the relevant classes are in gallery.css), html, and JavaScript data files (data.json which contains the data in an easy-to-read format). The images are supplied in two folders: images/square (for the gallery) and images/medium (for the popup).
- Loop through the images array and using the appropriate jQuery DOM methods, add the appropriate <img>tags to the supplied <ul class=gallery> The image filenames are contained in the path property of each image object. Set the alt attribute of each <img>to the title property of the image object.
- Use jQuery to attach handlers for the mouseenter, mouseleave, and mousemoveevents of the square images in the gallery.
- For the mouseenterevent, use jQuery to add the gray class to the square <img> under the mouse. If you examine that class, you will see it sets the filter property to grayscale(). Hint: remember that $(this) within an event handler references the DOM object that generated the event.
- Also for the mouseenterevent, use jQuery to generate a <div> with an id=preview (the styling for #preview is already defined in css). Within that <div> add an <img> element that displays the larger version of the image. Underneath that <img> add a <p>element for the caption (image title, city and date taken). The alt attribute of the square image under the mouse contains the image title.
- You will need to use jQuery to set the leftand top CSS properties for the #preview<div>. You can retrieve the x, y coordinates (via the pageX and pageY properties) of the current mouse position from the event object that is passed to your event handler. You can calculate the new position by offsetting by some amount from the mouse x, y position.
- Finally, once the #preview <div>is constructed, simply append it to the <body>.
- For the mouseleaveevent, remove the gray class from the square image under the mouse. Also remove the #preview<div> from the body.
- For the mousemoveevent, simply set the left and top CSS properties for the #preview <div> using the same approach as described in step 6.
Testing
- Verify the code works when mousing over the images. Make sure that the caption is displaying the correct information.
- Dont worry if the pop-up image is off screen when mousing over images on the edges of the browser.
