Description

To change the scale of an element, CSS has the transform property, along with its scale() function. The following code example doubles the size of all the paragraph elements on the page:

p {
  transform: scale(2);
}

Instructions

Increase the size of the element with the id of ball2 to 1.5 times its original size.

Tests

tests:
  - text: The <code>transform</code> property for <code>#ball2</code> should be set to scale it to 1.5 times its size.
    testString: assert(code.match(/#ball2\s*?{\s*?left:\s*?65%;\s*?transform:\s*?scale\(1\.5\);\s*?}|#ball2\s*?{\s*?transform:\s*?scale\(1\.5\);\s*?left:\s*?65%;\s*?}/gi));
