Here is a little snippet of what I\'m trying to do:
$(\'#why-red a\').hover(function() { $(this).animate({ -webkit-transform: \'scale(1.1)\' }, \'slow\');
If you wish .animate() used transitions automatically when available (and fallback to regular animation otherwise), you should check out "Enhancing jQuery’s animate function to automatically use CSS3 transitions".
.animate()
Github repository of the plugin.
