On my webpage, I want to put an image such that when the mouse pointer hovers over that image, an enlarged version will appear.
<img src="..." onmouseover="this.width='someWidth'; this.height='someHeight'" onmouseout="this.width='originalWidth'; this.height='originalHeight'">

.effectscale:hover {
-webkit-transform: scale(1.2);

Just try this :
<html>
<head>
<style>
.container{
overflow:hidden;
width:300px;/*change this to whatever you want*/
height:150px;/*change this to whatever you want*/
/*Of course, to get the desired effect, the size of the image "<img>" below must be larger than the size mentioned above*/
}
.container:hover{
overflow:visible
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class='container'><img src='myImage.png'/></div>
</body>
</html>
