How to Create an Image Grid Using CSS and JavaScript

An image grid is a popular way to display images on websites.

It allows you to showcase a collection of images in a visually appealing way, while maintaining a organized layout.

With CSS and JavaScript, you can easily create an image grid that will enhance the look and feel of your website.

In this tutorial, we will show you how to create a simple and responsive image grid using CSS and JavaScript.

We will be using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to build the image grid.

HTML Markup

The first step in creating an image grid is to create the HTML markup.

We will be using unordered list (ul) and list item (li) elements to create the image grid.

The li element will be used to hold each individual image, and the ul element will be used to wrap the entire grid.

<ul class="image-grid">
  <li>
    <img src="image1.jpg" alt="Image 1">
  </li>
  <li>
    <img src="image2.jpg" alt="Image 2">
  </li>
  <li>
    <img src="image3.jpg" alt="Image 3">
  </li>
  <!-- Add as many list items as you need -->
</ul>

CSS Styles

Next, we will add some CSS styles to make our image grid look good. We will be using CSS grid to layout the images in a grid format.

We will also be using CSS to style the images and to make the grid responsive.

.image-grid {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(200px, 1fr));
  grid-gap: 10px;
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

.image-grid li {
  background-color: #f2f2f2;
  border: 1px solid #ddd;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}

.image-grid img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

Add JavaScript

Finally, we will add some JavaScript to make our image grid more dynamic and user-friendly.

We will be using JavaScript to handle the image click events and to open the images in a lightbox.

var images = document.querySelectorAll('.image-grid li');

for (var i = 0; i < images.length; i++) {
images[i].addEventListener('click', function() {
// Code to open the image in a lightbox
});
}
