I decided to add a title and description to the simple gallery tutorial i posted a few days back as an addition for those of you wanting to display further info about a picture in the gallery.

The new code is below, you can see that I’ve wrapped the main image and caption in a div ‘#gallery’ which is used to fade in our new image into the retrospective div elements. The other addition to the html is that in order to display a title and description I’ve added a ‘title’ attribute and ‘content’ attribute to the a tag. I’ve tried to keep this as simple as possible so any beginners can get to grips with the mechanics of developing with jQuery.

The Code (updated)

$(function() {
$(".image").click(function() {
var image = $(this).attr("rel");
var title = $(this).attr("title");
var description = $(this).attr("content");
$('#gallery').hide();
$('#gallery').fadeIn('slow');
$('#image').html('<img src="' + image + '"/>');
$('#title').html(title);
$('#description').html(description);
return false;
	});
});

The HTML

<div id="gallery">
    <div id="image"><img src="images/1.png" border="0"/></div>
    <div id="caption"> <span id="title">Juan Diego Velasco</span>
      <div id="description">I've been working at Gattaca as Web Design Director for almost four years, but I’m into web design since 1997, when I graduated from high school and began exploring HTML.</div>
    </div>
  </div>
