scale does work, but you need to specify the values for both sx and sy; you cannot just have one value. So if you're trying to do something like transform:scale(2), it won't work, but transform:scale(2,2) will.
So i was coding on circlejourney and I was doing a scale on hover animation. It worked fine, but it didn't seem to work when I tested it on toyhouse. Is there another way to do the animation? I tested out scaley and scalex aswell but scalex was the only one working.
