JavaScript Onclick Fullscreen Image

This lightweight JavaScript library helps you to view fullscreen image onclick event. It works by allowing users to click on specific elements with the class “demo-image,” and when clicked, the corresponding image is displayed in a fully fullscreen view. This code is helpful for creating an interactive image gallery with full-screen functionality.

Whether you are working on a gallery project or want to integrate a simple solution to zoom view on click event, this code quite fits your needs.

How to Create Javascript Onclick Fullscreen Image

1. Start by creating the HTML structure for your webpage. You’ll need an HTML file that includes the necessary HTML elements, such as the <head> and <body>. Add the following code to the <body> section of your HTML file.

  <header>
    <div class="main">
      <h1> A js library for viewing images in a fully full screen. </h1>
      <h1> Click the images to see it in action!</h1>
    </div>
  </header>
  <section class="demos">
    <!-- Using divs for the demo, for formatting... you can use images if you want!  -->
    <div class="demo-image first" data-image="http://tholman.com/intense-images/img/h1_small.jpg" data-title="Beautiful fields" data-caption="With lots of wheaty puffs. Love those puffs."></div>
    <div class="demo-image second" data-image="http://tholman.com/intense-images/img/v1_small.jpg" data-title="Fantastic cliffs" data-caption="Longing for exploration. Explore me!"></div>
  </section>

  <script>
    window.onload = function() {
    var elements = document.querySelectorAll( '.demo-image' );
    Intense( elements );
    }
  </script>

Inside the <body>, add the images you want to make clickable for full-screen viewing. Use the following format for each image:

2. Now, add the following CSS code to your project. You can customize the CSS styles to match your website’s design. Adjust fonts, colors, and other styles as needed in the CSS section of the code.

* {
  -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
  -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
  box-sizing: border-box; }

html, body {
  font-family: "Ubuntu Mono", monospace;
  margin: 0px;
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%; }

body {
  padding: 20px;
  padding-top: 40px;
  min-width: 600px; }

.main h1 {
  font-weight: normal;
  width: 464px;
  background: #222222;
  color: #fff;
  font-size: 14px;
  height: 55px;
  line-height: 55px;
  margin: auto;
  margin-top: 0px;
  margin-bottom: 20px;
  text-align: center;}

.demos {
  text-align: center;
  margin-top: 20px;
  width: 490px;
  margin: auto;}

.demo-image {
  cursor: url("https://tholman.com/intense-images/img/plus_cursor.png") 25 25, auto;
  display: inline-block;
  width: 220px;
  height: 220px;
  background-size: cover;
  background-position: 50% 50%;
  margin-left: 8px;
  margin-right: 8px;
  margin-bottom: 16px; }
  .demo-image.first {
    background-image: url("https://tholman.com/intense-images/img/h1_small.jpg"); }
  .demo-image.second {
    background-position: 50% 10%;
    background-image: url("https://tholman.com/intense-images/img/v1_small.jpg"); }

footer h1 {
  padding-left: 20px;
  background: #e9e9e9;
  color: #222222;
  font-size: 14px; }
  footer h1 a {
    color: #222222; }

3. Finally, add the following JavaScript code at the end of the <body> section, just before the closing </body> tag.

window.requestAnimFrame = (function(){
  return  window.requestAnimationFrame       ||
          window.webkitRequestAnimationFrame ||
          window.mozRequestAnimationFrame    ||
          function( callback ){
            window.setTimeout(callback, 1000 / 60);
          };
})();

window.cancelRequestAnimFrame = ( function() {
    return window.cancelAnimationFrame          ||
        window.webkitCancelRequestAnimationFrame    ||
        window.mozCancelRequestAnimationFrame       ||
        window.oCancelRequestAnimationFrame     ||
        window.msCancelRequestAnimationFrame        ||
        clearTimeout
} )();
