Read css scale value using JS or Jquery

Question

I have this div

How do I get the

transform: scale(x,y) 

Answer 1

var m = $('#id').css('transform');
var mt = m.substring(m.indexOf('(') + 1, m.indexOf(')')).split(',');
// or else: var mt = m.substring(7, m.length - 1).split(',');
console.log(mt[0], mt[3]);

You can put a plus sign in front of the array elements to ensure they are treated as numeric.
