Your code should be in .ready

$(function(){
    $("a.my-class").click(function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        $("#imageBox").html('<img src="' + this.href + '" />');
    });
})

This will enable the feature for a elements with class myclass, others will function normally

You're on the right track. There's basically two ways: 1) add the <img> tag to the div, or 2) change the background-image with JS/css.

Change: 

$("#imageBox").html("<img src=' + this.href + '>");

To:

$("#imageBox").html("<img src=\"" + this.href + "\">");

Your quotes were wrong.
