Lee 6e44ec362c ADD: transform affects DIV child contents (#35257 )

* ADD: transform affects DIV child contents

After spending some time figuring out how to prevent text in a div being skewed as well as the div, I think it is worth mentioning that applying a transform to a div element will also affect elements contained inside of it. Perhaps the transform challenge pages could include how to negate the effects of the transform on child elements of divs.

* Fix: moved my commit to Description 

Moved my commit text into the Description section as suggested.

* Fix: Changed </div> to </code>

Changed the closing </div> tag to </code> as suggested.

* Fix: Changed markdown ** to <strong>

As advised on a previous pull request, I have removed the markdown ** ** and replaced it with HTML <strong></strong>.

587d78a5367417b2b2512ada	Use the CSS Transform scale Property to Scale an Element on Hover	0	https://scrimba.com/c/cyLPJuM

Description

The transform property has a variety of functions that lets you scale, move, rotate, skew, etc., your elements. When used with pseudo-classes such as :hover that specify a certain state of an element, the transform property can easily add interactivity to your elements. Here's an example to scale the paragraph elements to 2.1 times their original size when a user hovers over them:

p:hover {
transform: scale(2.1);
}

NOTE: Applying a transform to a div element will also affect any child elements contained in the div.

Instructions

Add a CSS rule for the hover state of the div and use the transform property to scale the div element to 1.1 times its original size when a user hovers over it.

Tests

tests:
  - text: The size of the <code>div</code> element should scale 1.1 times when the user hovers over it.
    testString: assert(code.match(/div:hover\s*?{\s*?transform:\s*?scale\(1\.1\);/gi), 'The size of the <code>div</code> element should scale 1.1 times when the user hovers over it.');

Challenge Seed

<style>
  div {
    width: 70%;
    height: 100px;
    margin:  50px auto;
    background: linear-gradient(
      53deg,
      #ccfffc,
      #ffcccf
    );
  }



</style>

<div></div>

Solution

var code = "div:hover {transform: scale(1.1);}"
