In Bootstrap open Enlarge image in modal

Question

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">&times;</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 :)

I have change it little bit but still can not do few things.

I added that clicking on it close it - it was easy but very functional.

 <div class="modal-dialog" data-dismiss="modal">

I also need different description under each photo. I added description in footer just to show what I need. It need to change with every photo.

HTML

<div class="modal fade" id="imagemodal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
    <div class="modal-dialog" data-dismiss="modal">
      <div class="modal-content"  >              
        <div class="modal-body">
          <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal"><span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span><span class="sr-only">Close</span></button>
             <img src="" class="imagepreview" style="width: 100%;" >
        </div> 
     <div class="modal-footer">
       <div class="col-xs-12">
           <p class="text-left">1. line of description<br>2. line of description <br>3. line of description</p>
       </div>
     </div>         
   </div>
 </div>

JavaScript:

$(function() {
    $('.pop').on('click', function() {
        $('.imagepreview').attr('src', $(this).find('img').attr('src'));
        $('#imagemodal').modal('show');   
    });     
});

Also it would be nice if this window will open only on 100% of screen. Here picture inside with description have more than 100% and in become scrollable... and if screen in much bigger than pictures it shoud stop only on orginal size. for ex. 900 px and no bigger in height.

I know your question is tagged as bootstrap-modal (although you didn't mention Bootstrap explicity either), but I love to see the simple way W3.CSS solved this and I think it is good to share it.

  <img src="/myImage.png" style="width:30%;cursor:zoom-in"
  onclick="document.getElementById('modal01').style.display='block'">

  <div id="modal01" class="w3-modal" onclick="this.style.display='none'">
    <div class="w3-modal-content w3-animate-zoom">
      <img src="/myImage.png" style="width:100%">
    </div>
  </div>
