    Trying to make a simple photo gallery?

    I am trying to make a simple photo gallery. I know it's probably easier to find a free one but I'm not learning anything by doing that. My setup is plain and pretty simple. I've attached a screenshot of my page which is loaded with images (they will eventually be resized smaller once everything is working). I simply wish to click on any image and then open that image to a larger size on a new page. THIS ELUDES ME!!! Below is the Javascript that creates the page of images.

    The below function runs at "onload" of the page.

    Code:
    <script>
        function getImages(dirLocation) {
            var dir = dirLocation;
    
            var fileextension = "jpg";
            
            $.ajax({
                //This will retrieve the contents of the folder if the folder is configured as 'browsable'
                url: dir,
    
                success: function(data) {
                    //This empty() statement clears the canvas so a new directory can be reloaded
                    $("#container1").empty();
    
                    //List all png file names in the page
                    $(data).find("a:contains(" + fileextension + ")").each(function() {
                        var pathName = this.href;
                        var strLen = pathName.lastIndexOf('/');
                        var fileName = pathName.substring(pathName.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
                        var newFileName = pathName.slice(0, strLen, pathName) + "/" + dir + fileName;
    
                        var div = "<div id='images' class='images'>" +
                            "<a href=''><img src=" + newFileName + " width='450' height='auto' onclick='showImage()>" +
                            "<div class='caption'></div></a></div>"
                        $("#container1").append($(div));
                    });
                }
            });
        }
        //
        //
        //
        function showImage() {
            var largeImage = document.getElementById('images');
            largeImage.style.display = 'block';
            largeImage.style.width=1000+"px";
            largeImage.style.height="auto";
            var url=largeImage.getAttribute('src');
            window.open(url,'Image','width=largeImage.stylewidth,height=largeImage.style.height,resizable=1');
        }
    
    </script>
    Thanks for your help,
