Read css scale value using JS or Jquery

Question

I have this div

How do I get the

transform: scale(x,y) 

Answer 1

and then

var vals = $('#container').css('transform').replace(/\(|\)|scale/g,'').split(',')

Now, you have the scale values in vals as string, just parse parseFloat(vals[0]) and parseFloat(vals[1]) to number to get the value of x and y
