Step 2 – Add CSS
We use some external CSS link to this code. No need to worry about this, copy and paste below code between <head></head> tag.
<link href='https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/4.1.2/css/bootstrap.min.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
Copy and paste below code in your HTML editor between <style></style> tag.
<style>
body {
width: 100vw;
height: 100vh;
margin: 2% auto;
background-color: #111;
}
label {
color: #5d5dff;
}
#gallery {
color: white;
}
#gallery-box {
display: block;
position: relative;
max-height: 400px;
width: 100%;
overflow: scroll;
width: 100%;
}
#gallery-box::-webkit-scrollbar {
width: 10px;
height: 10px;
}
#gallery-box::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
background: #e5e5e5;
}
#gallery-box::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
background: #5d5dff;
}
#gallery-box::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover {

}
#gallery-count {
display: inline-block;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
padding: 15px;
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);

min-height: 400px;
min-width: 600px;

background: #e5e5e5;
text-align: center;
background-image: url("https://loremflickr.com/800/600/dog?lock=10");
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
-webkit-transition: 0.3s ease-in-out;
transition: 0.3s ease-in-out;
}
.gallery-thumbnails {
display: -webkit-box;
display: flex;
height: auto;
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1);
border-top: 2px solid white;
}
.gallery-thumbnails img {

-webkit-filter: grayscale(1);
filter: grayscale(1);
min-height: 25px;
}
.gallery-thumbnails img:hover {
-webkit-filter: none !important;
filter: none !important;
}
</style>
Step 2 – Add JavaScript
We use some external JavaScript link to this code. No need to worry about this, copy and paste below code between <head></head> tag.
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/4.1.2/css/bootstrap.min.css">
</script>
Copy and paste below code in your HTML editor between <script></script> tag.
<script $(document).ready(function () {
// Change image on selection
$("#gallery img").click(function () {
// Get current image source
var image = $(this).attr("src");
// Apply grayscale to thumbnails except selected
$("#gallery").find("img").css("filter", "grayscale(1)");
$(this).css("filter", "none");
// Change image
$("#gallery-img").css("background-image", "url(" + image + ")");
// Apply link to image
$("#gallery-link").attr("href", image);
// Use id for count
$("#count").text($(this).attr("id"));
});
// Get total number of images
var gallerySize = $(".gallery-thumbnails img").length;
$("#total").text(gallerySize);
var display = $("#imgDisplay");
var scroll = $("#imgScroll");
var scale = $("#imgScale");
// Image display
display.change(function () {
if (display.val() === "contain") {
$("#gallery-img").css("background-size", "contain");
} else {
$("#gallery-img").css("background-size", "cover");
}
});
// Scroll
scroll.change(function () {
if (scroll.val() === "yes") {
$("#gallery-box").css("overflow", "scroll");
} else {
$("#gallery-box").css("overflow", "hidden");
}
});
// Scale
var changeScale = scale.change(function () {
$("#gallery-img").css("background-size", scale.val() + "px");
});
});
</script>
