/* increases the element to be 2X its orignal width and 3X its original height */
div {
transform: scale(2, 3);
}
Skew an Element
/* skews the element 20 degrees along the Y-axis */
div {
transform: skewY(20deg);
}

Using JavaScript
The HTML element can also be styled using JavaScript and the element’s id.
document.getElementById('my_div').style.transform = 'rotate(45deg)';
<button onclick='my_function()'>Click Here</button>
<script>
function my_function() {
document.getElementById('my_div').style.transform = 'rotate(45deg)';
}
</script>
We’d like to acknowledge that we learned a great deal of our coding from W3Schools and TutorialsPoint, borrowing heavily from their teaching process and excellent code examples. We highly recommend both sites to deepen your experience, and further your coding journey. We’re just hitting the basics here at 1SMARTchicken.

CSS NOTES:
- The “inherit”, “initial” and “unset” keywords can be used with any CSS property to set its value
- In CSS there are many ways to express a color value in a property
