prompt: I need to make a JavaScript widget that lets the user click on a specific area of an image and then that section gets magnified. I don't want it in a popup or a new page - I want the magnified section to appear right on top of where it originally was in the image.

chosen.content: One easy way to do this is to put the image in an HTML canvas element. Then you can use the drawImage() command from the Canvas Web API to edit the image, including magnifying a section. Here's sample code that magnifies a square 10% of the size of the total image wherever the user clicks:
  
  ```javascript
          class ZoomableCanvas {
              constructor(canvas_id, img_src, zoom_factor) {
                  this.canvas = document.getElementById(canvas_id);
                  this.canvas.addEventListener('click', this.zoomOnClick, false);
                  this.area_size = Math.max(this.canvas.width, this.canvas.height) * .1;
                  this.zoom_size = this.area_size * zoom_factor;
                  
                  this.img = new Image(); 
                  this.img.addEventListener("load", this.drawImage, false);
                  this.img.src = img_src;
  
                  this.isZoomed = false;
              }
  
              zoomOnClick = (e) => {
                  if (this.isZoomed) {
                      this.isZoomed = false;
                      this.drawImage();
                  } else {
                      this.isZoomed = true;
                      this.drawZoomSection(e.offsetX, e.offsetY);
                  }
              }
  
              drawZoomSection = (x, y) => {
                  const ctx = this.canvas.getContext("2d");
                  ctx.drawImage(this.img, x - this.area_size/2, y - this.area_size/2, this.area_size, this.area_size, x - this.zoom_size/2, y - this.zoom_size/2, this.zoom_size, this.zoom_size);
              }
  
              drawImage = () => {
                  const ctx = this.canvas.getContext("2d");
                  ctx.clearRect(0, 0, this.canvas.width, this.canvas.height);
                  ctx.drawImage(this.img, 0, 0);
              }
          }
  
          zc = new ZoomableCanvas('zoomable_canvas', 'img/sunflowers.jpg', 3);
  ```
