Enlarging images when mouseover using Jquery?

I am trying to enlarge the images when mouseover and reduce the size back to normal after mouseout. I have the following:

$(\'#image img\').live(\"mouseover\         


        

Answer 1

Try this: http://jsfiddle.net/FPKAP/11/ or using hover: http://jsfiddle.net/FPKAP/12/

When you will hover over the HULK it will zoomin and on mouse out zoom out.

This should help the need, lemme know if I misunderstood anything please, :)

code

$('#zoomimg').mouseenter(function() {
    $(this).css("cursor","pointer");
    $(this).animate({width: "50%", height: "50%"}, 'slow');
});

$('#zoomimg').mouseleave(function() {   
    $(this).animate({width: "28%"}, 'slow');
});

code

$('#zoomimg').hover(function() {
    $(this).css("cursor", "pointer");
    $(this).animate({
        width: "50%",
        height: "50%"
    }, 'slow');

}, function() {
    $(this).animate({
        width: "28%"
    }, 'slow');

});​

Answer 2

Increasing the width and height of the image , changes the position of the image (ie) it is enlarged but not in the same position where the original image was present.

Using Scaling property will address this issue.

.transition {
    -webkit-transform: scale(2); 
    -moz-transform: scale(2);
    -o-transform: scale(2);
    transform: scale(2);
}

You can use this: jsFiddle

$('#image').hover(function(){
    $(this).css({width:"100%",height:"100%"});
},function(){
    $(this).css({width:"50%",height:"50%"});   
});

I'd first try CSS for this:

#image img {
  width: 50%;
  height: 50%;
}

#image img:hover {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
}
