In Bootstrap open Enlarge image in modal

Question

How do I open / enlarge an image in a modal using jquery / js and not data attributes?

Anytime a user inserts an image into a content editor I need it to be clickable to expand in a modal with js, so I cannot rely on the user to input data attributes they don't know how to use.

I tried:-

<a href="/myImage.png" id="pop">
    <img src="/myImage.png" style="width: 400px; height: 264px;">
    Click to Enlarge
</a>

jQuery :-

$("#pop").on("click", function() {
   $(this).modal();
});

Do I need to add info to the jquery to pass the image source to appear in the modal?

Thank you!!!

You can try this code if you are using bootstrap 3:

HTML

<a href="#" id="pop">
    <img id="imageresource" src="http://patyshibuya.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/04.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 264px;">
    Click to Enlarge
</a>
    
<!-- Creates the bootstrap modal where the image will appear -->
<div class="modal fade" id="imagemodal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
  <div class="modal-dialog">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal"><span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span><span class="sr-only">Close</span></button>
        <h4 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel">Image preview</h4>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-body">
        <img src="" id="imagepreview" style="width: 400px; height: 264px;" >
      </div>
      <div class="modal-footer">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

JavaScript:

$("#pop").on("click", function() {
   $('#imagepreview').attr('src', $('#imageresource').attr('src')); // here asign the image to the modal when the user click the enlarge link
   $('#imagemodal').modal('show'); // imagemodal is the id attribute assigned to the bootstrap modal, then i use the show function
});

This is the working fiddle.
