CSS tranform:translateY from JavaScript

Question

How would I access and change transform: translateY(0px); using the style object from JavaScript, in a similar matter to div.style.background = 50px.

Answer 1

In addition to the accepted answer, it is also possible to target the each axis separately - such as in the following example:

div.style.transform = "translateY(10px)";

Again, the value in the parentheses can be anything that would otherwise work when specified directly in CSS.

Answer 2

You can pass any transform property as a string.

HOW?

It can be done like this;

div.style.transform = "translate(x,y)"

I find out that if I write

div.style.transform = "translate(someValue)"

It only affects x axes.

"translate-y(someValue)" or "translate-x(someValue)"

did not work out.

Or you can use rotate property;

div.style.transform = "rotate(50px)".

Try it!

Answer 3

Alternative solution:

div.setAttribute('style','transform:translateY(10px)');
