How to make an image popup on click?

Question

So my incremental has come a long way, I got assistance here to make the original popup and it works great, now i really want to make the popup an image?

so far i have:

$("#coffeeButton").click(function(e) {
    var obj = $("#clone").clone();
    $("body").append(obj);
    obj.html("+"+ cookRate);
    coffee += cookRate;
    totalCoffee += cookRate;
    document.getElementById("coffee").innerHTML = prettify(coffee);
    document.getElementById("totalCoffee").innerHTML = prettify(totalCoffee);

    obj.css('position','absolute');
    obj.offset({left: e.pageX-10, top: e.pageY-25});

    obj.animate({"top": "-=80px"}, 1000, "linear", function() {
        $(this).remove();
    });     
});

and it works great and gives me a popup, but how the hell do i make it an image?

I have tried creating a div, putting an image inside that div and instead of calling "clone" calling on the div...

Am i on the right track?

There are probably a lot of ways you could do this. To keep things as close to what you have now as possible here's what I would do...essentially just create 2 elements the first being your numbers and the second being the image, make sure the number is above the image using css's z-index , then animate them both in tandem:

Here's a working jsfiddle

HTML changes:

<img title = "" id="myImg" src="http://blog.beautyfix.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Coffee_iStock_000006160362Medium.jpg" style="display:none" width="30" height="30"> 

Javascript changes:

$("#coffeeButton").click(function(e) {

    var obj = $("#clone").clone(); //im guessing you chose to use clone here to make it easier to work with the object, so I did the same for the image
    var img = $("#myImg").clone(); 

    $("body").append(obj);
    $("body").append(img);

    obj.html("+"+ cookRate);
    coffee += cookRate;
    totalCoffee += cookRate;
    document.getElementById("coffee").innerHTML = prettify(coffee);
    document.getElementById("totalCoffee").innerHTML = prettify(totalCoffee);

    obj.css('position','absolute'); 
    obj.css('z-index', '2');
    img.css('position','absolute');
    img.show();

    obj.offset({left: e.pageX-10, top: e.pageY-25});
    img.offset({left: e.pageX-10, top: e.pageY-25});

    obj.animate({"top": "-=80px"}, 1000, "linear", function() {
        $(this).remove();
    }); 
    img.animate({"top": "-=80px"}, 1000, "linear", function() {
        $(this).remove();
    });

});

if you don't want to the trouble of doing it your self, you can use a jquery plugin that does it quite easily. I am sure there is a lot more in the,

Here is what i found!

Here is the demo page for full-screan popup plugin

....
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.fullscreen-popup.js"></script>
....

<a class="open-popup" href="#popup">Open popup</a>

...

<div id="popup" style="display: none; width: 640px">
  ...
</div>

<script>

    $(function() {
      $(".open-popup").fullScreenPopup({
        // Options
      });
    });

</script>

Example is from here and you can download the plugin from here and a list that contains many more
