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\');
Another option to those mentioned above is Transit JS.
Using transit js you can call...
$('.className').transition({ scale: 1.0, duration: 400 });
