JQuery: Fancybox opens image in tab - ASP.Net

I'm using Fancybox to create a gallery on my website - Asp.Net MVC

I've added all the libraries, however, the images seem to load up in a new tab instead of working like pops with the arrows on the side.

Here is what I have in the view:

  @{
   ViewBag.Title = "Gallery";

  }

 <head>

<!-- Add jQuery library -->
<script type="text/javascript" 
 src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7/jquery.min.js">
</script>

<link href="../../Content/jquery.fancybox.css" rel="stylesheet" 
 type="text/css" />
<script src="../../Scripts/jquery.fancybox.pack.js" type="text/javascript">
 </script>

<link href="../../Content/jquery.fancybox-buttons.css" rel="stylesheet" 
 type="text/css" />
<script src="../../Scripts/jquery.fancybox-buttons.js" 
 type="text/javascript"></script>

<script src="../../Scripts/jquery.fancybox-thumbs.js" 
 type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="../../Content/jquery.fancybox-thumbs.css" rel="stylesheet" 
type="text/css" />
<script src="../../Scripts/jquery.fancybox-media.js" type="text/javascript">
 </script>

 </head>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $(".fancybox").fancybox({
            openEffect: 'none',
            closeEffect: 'none',
        });
    });
   </script>

Here is are some of the images I am trying to add:

<body>
<br />
<div class="bodyText">

    <center>

        <h1>Gallery</h1>

        <p>Pictures taken by me in Agadir (Morocco), Dubai (UAE) and Sylhet (Bangladesh)</p>
        <br /><br />
    </center>

    <!--inserting the images and adding descriptions-->
    <center>
        <a class="fancybox" rel="gallery" href="../../Content/images/agadir.jpg" title="Marina"><img src="../../Content/images/rsz_agadir.jpg" style='border:2px solid #ffffff' alt="" hspace="5" /></a>
        <a class="fancybox" rel="gallery" href="../../Content/images/agadirmountain.jpg" title="Atlas Mountains trip"><img src="../../Content/images/rsz_agadirmountain.jpg" style='border:2px solid #ffffff' alt="" hspace="5" /></a>
        <a class="fancybox" rel="gallery" href="../../Content/images/agadirsunset.jpg" title="Sunset in Agadir"><img src="../../Content/images/rsz_agadirsunset.jpg" style='border:2px solid #ffffff' alt="" hspace="5" /></a>

Solution

  • Check developer tools, you have JS error on your page -

    Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined

    Fix this and it should work. The other message should give you a clue:
