Fancybox not loading image from external URL

Question

Working HTML code:

<a class="fancybox-gallery" href="http://sale.coupsoft.com/uploads/938218/logo.png">
    <img class="animate scale animated" src="http://sale.coupsoft.com/uploads/938218/logo.png" alt="Image1">
    <div class="image-hover">
        <i class="icon-zoom-in-2"></i>
    </div>
</a>

Failing HTML code:

<a class="fancybox-gallery" href="http://wallpapercraze.com/images/wallpapers/nowallpaper-585747.jpeg">
    <img class="animate scale animated" src="http://wallpapercraze.com/images/wallpapers/nowallpaper-585747.jpeg" alt="Image1" style="height:75px">
    <div class="image-hover">    
        <i class="icon-zoom-in-2"></i>
    </div>
</a>

When I tried to load the image from my website than it successfully executed but when I tried to load the image from external URL the fancybox is redirecting to that URL. How can I resolve this issue, and why is it happening?

Answer 1

Check my working code on both of your cases.

And a JSFIDDLE .

 $("a.fancybox-gallery").fancybox({ 'transitionIn': 'elastic', 'transitionOut': 'elastic', 'speedIn': 600, 'speedOut': 200, 'overlayShow': false }); 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fancybox/2.1.5/jquery.fancybox.min.js"></script> <link rel='stylesheet' href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fancybox/2.1.5/jquery.fancybox.min.css" /> <a class="fancybox-gallery" href="http://sale.coupsoft.com/uploads/938218/logo.png"> <img class="animate scale animated" src="http://sale.coupsoft.com/uploads/938218/logo.png" alt="Image1"> <div class="image-hover"> <i class="icon-zoom-in-2"></i> </div> </a> <a class="fancybox-gallery" href="http://wallpapercraze.com/images/wallpapers/nowallpaper-585747.jpeg"> <img class="animate scale animated" src="http://wallpapercraze.com/images/wallpapers/nowallpaper-585747.jpeg" alt="Image1" style="height:75px"> <div class="image-hover"> <i class="icon-zoom-in-2"></i> </div> </a> 

Answer 2

It's happening because Fancybox isn't recognising that the link is pointing to an image, because the URL doesn't end with a .jpg (or any other image type).

To fix this, simply remove the 
 from the end of the URLs:

<a class="fancybox-gallery" href="http://wallpapercraze.com/images/wallpapers/nowallpaper-585747.jpeg">
    <img class="animate scale animated" src="http://wallpapercraze.com/images/wallpapers/nowallpaper-585747.jpeg" alt="Image1" style="height: 75px">
    <div class="image-hover">    
        <i class="icon-zoom-in-2"></i>
    </div>
</a>

Answer 3

Remove ; (Semicolon) ; (Semicolon) From URL :

<a class="fancybox-gallery" href="http://wallpapercraze.com/images/wallpapers/nowallpaper-585747.jpeg&#10;">
    <img class="animate scale animated" src="http://wallpapercraze.com/images/wallpapers/nowallpaper-585747.jpeg&#10;" alt="Image1" style="height:75px">
    <div class="image-hover">    
        <i class="icon-zoom-in-2"></i>
    </div>
</a>
