scale up to be larger than its original size, add the following:

Transparent Image
The opacity
property can take a value from 0.0 - 1.0. The lower value, the more transparent:

opacity 0.2

opacity 0.5

opacity 1
(default)
Note: IE8 and earlier use filter:alpha(opacity=x)
. The x can take a value from 0 - 100. A lower value makes the element more transparent.
Example
img
opacity: 0.5;
filter:
alpha(opacity=50); /* For IE8 and earlier */

Image Modal (Advanced)
This is an example to demonstrate how CSS and JavaScript can work together.
First, use CSS to create a modal window (dialog box), and hide it by
default.
Then, use a JavaScript to show the modal window and to display the
image inside the modal, when a user clicks on the image:

Example
// 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";
Try it Yourself »
×
// Get the modal
var modal = document.getElementById('myModal2');
var images = document.getElementById('eh');
var modalImg = document.getElementById("img01");
var captionText = document.getElementById("caption");
images.onclick = function()
modal.style.display = "block";
modalImg.src = images.src;
modalImg.alt = images.alt;
captionText.innerHTML = images.alt;
