I wonder whether someone may be able to help me please.

Firstly apologies, because for some this may be a really basic question, but I new to this so please bear with me.

I’m using the script below to create an image gallery in fancyBox.

</html>

I’m now wanting to add functionality that allows the user to delete an image.

Using the ‘Silk icons’ from ‘famfamfam.com’ I’ve found a suitable icon that I want to place to the left upper side of each image but I’m not sure how to add the icon to my page.

I’ve tried to find a tutoriual online that shows me how to do this, but have so far been unsuccessful.

I just wondered whether someone could possibly provide som guidance how i add this to my page.

Many thanks and regards

    Just before this line:

    <a class="fancybox" rel="allimages" title="<?php echo $name; ?>" href="<?php echo $source; ?>"><img src="<?php echo $thumbnail; ?>"alt="<?php echo $description; ?>" /></a>

    You could add something like this:

    <img src="path/to/image.png" class="removeImage" alt="Remove this image" />

    And then do something like this with jQuery:

    $('.removeImage').click(function(){
    $(this).next('a.fancybox').remove();
});

    There are lots of other changes I would make to the document too. For example, it’d be a good idea to remove all inline styles, and group them together into an external stylesheet. The same goes for your javascript. Furthermore:

    • You tried self-closing your opening body tag like this: <body /> — we don’t do that.
    • When using font-family, it’s always a good idea to make a web-safe list of fonts. Check this out for more: http://cssfontstack.com/
    • The align attribute in HTML is deprecated

    I’ve made a few changes to your document so it’s easier to work with. Here’s the HTML/PHP:

    <!doctype html>
<!--[if lt IE 7 ]> <html class="ie6"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7 ]>    <html class="ie7"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8 ]>    <html class="ie8"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 9 ]>    <html class="ie9"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if (gt IE 9)|!(IE)]><!--> <html class=""> <!--<![endif]-->

<title>Gallery</title>

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="fancybox/source/jquery.fancybox.css?v=2.0.6" media="screen" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="screen.css" media="screen" />  
</head>

<body>
<div align="right" class="style1"> <a href = "javascript:document.gallery.submit()"/> Add Images <a/> &larr; View Uploaded Images </div> 
<form id="gallery" name="gallery" class="page" action="index.php" method="post">
<p>
<?php for ($i = 0; $i < $descriptions->documentElement->childNodes->length; $i++) :  
                      $xmlFile = $descriptions->documentElement->childNodes->item($i);  
                      $name = htmlentities($xmlFile->getAttribute('originalname'), ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8');  
                      $description = htmlentities($xmlFile->getAttribute('description'), ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8');  
                      $source = $galleryPath . rawurlencode($xmlFile->getAttribute('source'));  
                      $thumbnail = $thumbnailsPath . rawurlencode($xmlFile->getAttribute('thumbnail'));  
              ?>
  <a class="fancybox" rel="allimages" title="<?php echo $name; ?>" href="<?php echo $source; ?>"><img src="<?php echo $thumbnail; ?>"alt="<?php echo $description; ?>" /></a>
  <?php endfor; ?>  
</p>
</form>

<!-- scripts -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="fancybox/lib/jquery-1.7.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="fancybox/source/jquery.fancybox.js?v=2.0.6"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="fancybox/source/helpers/jquery.fancybox-buttons.js?v=1.0.2"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="fancybox/source/helpers/jquery.fancybox-thumbs.js?v=1.0.2"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="fancybox/source/helpers/jquery.fancybox-media.js?v=1.0.0"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="main.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

    … Here’s your stylesheet — screen.css:

    body {font-family: Calibri; color: #505050; margin-left: 240px; float:left;}
.style1 {font-size: 14px; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 110px;}
#gallery {margin-left: -120px; margin-right: 50px; border-left: 100; caption-side: left;}

    And finally your scripts that run once the page is ready — main.js:

    $(function(){
    $('.removeImage').click(function(){
        $(this).next('a.fancybox').remove();
    });

$('.fancybox').fancybox({
            openEffect  :   'elastic',
            closeEffect :   'elastic',

            padding :   20,
            fitToView   :   true,

            prevEffect :    'none',
            nextEffect :    'none',

            closeBtn  : false,
            arrows : false,

            helpers : {
                title : {
                    type : 'inside'
                },
                buttons : {}
            },

            afterLoad : function() {
                this.title = 'Image ' + (this.index + 1) + ' of ' + this.group.length + (this.title ? ' - ' + this.title : '');
            }
        });
})
