Popup image on click without href

A very elegant solution, with which the image will not be wrapped in <a href=””></a>, image will float on click to the center of the screen and will be able to close both on the top cross and on a click on a translucent background.

Image code:

<div class="image__wrapper">
  <img src="http://domainname/img.png" class="minimized" alt="" />
</div>

JS script:

<script>
$(function(){
  $('.minimized').click(function(event) {
    var i_path = $(this).attr('src');
    $('body').append('<div id="overlay"></div><div id="magnify"><img src="'+i_path+'"><div id="close-popup"><i></i></div></div>');
    $('#magnify').css({
	    left: ($(document).width() - $('#magnify').outerWidth())/2,
	    // top: ($(document).height() - $('#magnify').outerHeight())/2 upd: 24.10.2016
            top: ($(window).height() - $('#magnify').outerHeight())/2
	  });
    $('#overlay, #magnify').fadeIn('fast');
  });
  
  $('body').on('click', '#close-popup, #overlay', function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
 
    $('#overlay, #magnify').fadeOut('fast', function() {
      $('#close-popup, #magnify, #overlay').remove();
    });
  });
});
</script>

CSS styles:

.minimized {
  width: 200px;
  cursor: pointer;
  border: 1px solid #FFF;
}
 
.minimized:hover {
  border: 1px solid yellow;
}
 
#magnify {
  display: none;
  position: fixed;
  max-width: 600px;
  height: auto;
  z-index: 9999;
}
 
#magnify img {
  width: 100%;
}

#overlay {

  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  opacity: 0.5;
  z-index: 9990;
}

  height: 30px;
 
  background: #FFFFFF;
  border: 1px solid #AFAFAF;
  border-radius: 15px;
