Javascript to close modal image on click

I'm using a modal image with exactly the coding in this example on w3schools:

// Get the modal
var modal = document.getElementById('myModal');

// Get the image and insert it inside the modal - use its "alt" text as a caption
var img = document.getElementById('myImg');
var modalImg = document.getElementById("img01");
var captionText = document.getElementById("caption");
img.onclick = function(){
    modal.style.display = "block";
    modalImg.src = this.src;
    captionText.innerHTML = this.alt;
}

// Get the <span> element that closes the modal
var span = document.getElementsByClassName("close")[0];

// When the user clicks on <span> (x), close the modal
span.onclick = function() { 
    modal.style.display = "none";
}

#myImg {
    border-radius: 5px;
    cursor: pointer;
    transition: 0.3s;
}

#myImg:hover {opacity: 0.7;}

However, I want to be able to close the image by clicking anywhere on it, not just on the white X in the corner.

I'm a plete newbie to JS - can anyone give me a quick fix for this please? Thanks.

You can change the class for close to Modal and it will close the window when click anywhere

// Get the <span> element that closes the modal
var span = document.getElementsByClassName("modal")[0];

Full code

// Get the modal
var modal = document.getElementById('myModal');

// Get the image and insert it inside the modal - use its "alt" text as a caption
var img = document.getElementById('myImg');
var modalImg = document.getElementById("img01");
var captionText = document.getElementById("caption");
img.onclick = function(){
    modal.style.display = "block";
    modalImg.src = this.src;
    captionText.innerHTML = this.alt;
}

// Get the <span> element that closes the modal
var span = document.getElementsByClassName("modal")[0];

// When the user clicks on <span> (x), close the modal
span.onclick = function() { 
    modal.style.display = "none";
}

#myImg {
    border-radius: 5px;
    cursor: pointer;
    transition: 0.3s;
}

#myImg:hover {opacity: 0.7;}

/* The Modal (background) */
.modal {

    width: 100%; /* Full width */
    height: 100%; /* Full height */
    overflow: auto; /* Enable scroll if needed */
    background-color: rgb(0,0,0); /* Fallback color */
    background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.9); /* Black w/ opacity */
}

.modal-content {
    margin: auto;

    max-width: 700px;
}

Hope this helps

In context of the example you have provided (https://www.w3schools./howto/tryit.asp?filename=tryhow_css_modal_img), you can do it this way.

//Get the modal container
var modal = document.getElementById("myModal");

//Add a click event handler to hide the modal
modal.onclick =  function () {
    modal.style.display = "none";
};

This works, assuming that this is the only modal image on a page. Instead of assigning the onclick event to the span element, I assigned it to the entire modal instead.

// Get the modal
var modal = document.getElementById('myModal');

// Get the image and insert it inside the modal - use its "alt" text as a caption
var img = document.getElementById('myImg');
var modalImg = document.getElementById("img01");
var captionText = document.getElementById("caption");
img.onclick = function(){
    modal.style.display = "block";
    modalImg.src = this.src;
    captionText.innerHTML = this.alt;
}


// When the user clicks on the modal, it closes
modal.onclick = function() { 
    modal.style.display = "none";
}

#myImg {
    border-radius: 5px;
    cursor: pointer;
    transition: 0.3s;
}

#myImg:hover {opacity: 0.7;}

/* The Modal (background) */
.modal {
    display: none; /* Hidden by default */
    position: fixed; /* Stay in place */
    z-index: 1; /* Sit on top */
    padding-top: 100px; /* Location of the box */
    left: 0;
    top: 0;
    width: 100%; /* Full width */
    height: 100%; /* Full height */
    overflow: auto; /* Enable scroll if needed */
    background-color: rgb(0,0,0); /* Fallback color */
    background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.9); /* Black w/ opacity */
}

/* Modal Content (image) */
.modal-content {
    margin: auto;
    display: block;
    width: 80%;
    max-width: 700px;
}

/* Caption of Modal Image */
#caption {
    margin: auto;
    display: block;
    width: 80%;
    max-width: 700px;
    text-align: center;
    color: #ccc;
    padding: 10px 0;
    height: 150px;
}

/* Add Animation */
.modal-content, #caption {    
    -webkit-animation-name: zoom;
    -webkit-animation-duration: 0.6s;
    animation-name: zoom;
    animation-duration: 0.6s;

<img id="myImg" src="https://www.w3schools./howto/img_fjords.jpg" alt="Trolltunga, Norway" width="300" height="200">

<!-- The Modal -->
<div id="myModal" class="modal">

  <img class="modal-content" id="img01">
  <div id="caption"></div>
</div>

<script>

</script>

</body>
</html>

It's not too bad, even if you are new. In that example, the <script> at the end attaches a click event to the close button (which is a <span>):

var span = document.getElementsByClassName("close")[0];

// When the user clicks on <span> (x), close the modal
span.onclick = function() { 
    modal.style.display = "none";
}

You could attach your event to the whole modal (ie <div class="modal">) instead:

// the modal variable is already defined as the <div id="myModal">

modal.onclick = function() { 
    modal.style.display = "none";
}

This will work, although it's not the most modern way of doing things... once you've got a little Javascript under your belt, make sure you investigate Jquery, and how it attaches events to DOM elements using .on.

You can take the <span> and wrap it around the image like this:

<div id="myModal" class="modal">
  <span class="close">     ///Remove the &times;
    <img class="modal-content" id="img01">
    <div id="caption"></div>
  </span>  ///move the close tag to here
</div>

the var span is selecting the <span> via the class .close. In their example: var span = document.getElementByClassName('close')[0]

The following JS:
span.onclick = function() { modal.style.display = "none"; }

is basically saying when the span is clicked apply display:none to the modal style. So by moving the ending span tag to the end you're applying the click event to the entire image.

EDIT
With this option you would need to remove the .close css that was initially associated with the "X" or × otherwise the positioning will affect the modal.
