Question

I have this div

How do I get the

transform: scale(x,y) 

Answer 1

Possible duplicate of Get the scale value of an element?:

var matrixRegex = /matrix\((-?\d*\.?\d+),\s*0,\s*0,\s*(-?\d*\.?\d+),\s*0,\s*0\)/;
var matches = $('#id').css('transform').match(matrixRegex);
console.log(matches)

That snippet will return an array with the original matrix, and then indexes 2 and 3 contain X and Y values, respectively. Credit to Lea Verou
