In this article, we see how easily we can create an Image Gallery with a preview feature using HTML, CSS, and some JavaScript.
Approach: We will follow the below-described approach
HTML:
- Create a div with a class container.
- Create two more div inside the first div one for the main view and the other for the side view with classes main_view and side_view.
- Inside the main view insert one image tag with the id main.
- Inside the side view insert all other images of the gallery with function change and pass the src of the image to function.
CSS:
- Give width and margin to a container.
- Give the height and width to a main_view.
- Set the dimensions of the image in the main_view.
- Set side_view to display all images in proper dimensions using flex.
JavaScript: Using the change function we will just replace the src of main_view with the source of the clicked image.
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> Â Â <body> Â Â Â Â Â Â <!-- Container for our gallery -->Â Â Â Â <div class="container"> Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <!-- Main view of our gallery -->Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <div class="main_view"> Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <img src="one.jpg" id="main" alt="IMAGE"> Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â </div> Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <!-- All images with side view -->Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <div class="side_view"> Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <img src="one.jpg" onclick="change(this.src)"> Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <img src="two.jpg" onclick="change(this.src)"> Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <img src="three.jpg" onclick="change(this.src)"> Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â <img src="four.jpg" onclick="change(this.src)"> Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â </div> Â Â Â Â </div> </body> Â Â Â Â </html> |
