How to rotate an image on click

Question

I have an image and each time I click on it I want to make it rotate 180 degrees. This is the code I tried:

<img id="showLayers" class="miniToolbarContant" src="../stdicons/GeomindIcons/slide.png"/>

$('#showLayers').click( function() { 
    $('#showLayers img').animate({ rotate: 180 });
});

This code does not work for some reason. Any ideas why the above code does not work?

Firstly note that your issue is because the selector is incorrect. It should be $('#showLayers') not $('#showLayers img') - or even just $(this) as you're in the scope of the click handler.

Secondly, note that you can improve the logic by using CSS for the animation and simply toggling the class in JS as needed:

$('#showLayers').click(function() {
  $(this).toggleClass('rotate');
});

#showLayers {
  transition: transform 0.3s;
}

.rotate {
  -webkit-transform: rotate(180deg);
  -moz-transform: rotate(180deg);
  -o-transform: rotate(180deg);
  -ms-transform: rotate(180deg);
  transform: rotate(180deg);
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<img id="showLayers" class="miniToolbarContant" src="https://i.imgur.com/J5YLlJvl.png" width="250" />

the .animate() method in jQuery accepts only integers as a value to a property so "180deg" is invalid instead create a class and toggle it

$(document).on('click', ".a", function() {
  $(".a").toggleClass('a_rotated');
})

.a {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  background-color: red;
  transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;
}
.a_rotated {
  transform: rotate(180deg);
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="a"></div>

    var rot =180;
    function rotateImage(test){

    }

<div id="imgWrapper">

Ok you can use the jquery css methods with rotate. With a variable you increm, your pictures rotate at 360 deg (180 by 180).

Please try:

var angle = 0;
$('#showLayers').click(function() {
  angle += 180
  $(this).css('-webkit-transform','rotate('+angle+'deg)'); 
});

#showLayers {
  transition: transform 0.3s;
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<img id="showLayers" class="miniToolbarContant" src="https://i.imgur.com/J5YLlJvl.png" width="250" />

Try this code :

$('#showLayers').click( function() {

    $('#showLayers img').css('transform', 'rotate(180deg)');

});

There are many ways to do this. Below is one of the way:

var inti = 180;

$('img').click(function(){     
     var rotate = "rotate(" + inti + "deg)";
            var trans = "all 0.3s ease-out";
    $(this).css({
         "-webkit-transform": rotate,
                "-moz-transform": rotate,
                "-o-transform": rotate,
                "msTransform": rotate,
                "transform": rotate,
                "-webkit-transition": trans,
                "-moz-transition": trans,
                "-o-transition": trans,
                "transition": trans
    });
    inti += 180;
});

Change showLayers img to #showLayers.

Also rotate: 180 isn't valid styling. See this answer for how to rotate a div.
