Get element -moz-transform:rotate value in jQuery

Question

I have CSS style for a layer:

.element {     -webkit-transform: rotate(7.5deg);          -moz-transform: rotate(7.5deg);           -ms-transform: rotate(7.5deg);            -o-transform: rotate(7.5deg);              transform: rotate(7.5deg); } 

Is there a way to get curent rotation value through jQuery?

I tried this

$('.element').css("-moz-transform") 

The result is matrix(0.991445, 0.130526, -0.130526, 0.991445, 0px, 0px) which doesn't tell me a lot. What I'm looking to get is 7.5.

Answer 1

Here's my solution using jQuery.

This returns a numerical value corresponding to the rotation applied to any HTML element.

function getRotationDegrees(obj) {     var matrix = obj.css("-webkit-transform") ||     obj.css("-moz-transform")    ||     obj.css("-ms-transform")     ||     obj.css("-o-transform")      ||     obj.css("transform");     if(matrix !== 'none') {         var values = matrix.split('(')[1].split(')')[0].split(',');         var a = values[0];         var b = values[1];         var angle = Math.round(Math.atan2(b, a) * (180/Math.PI));     } else { var angle = 0; }     return (angle < 0) ? angle + 360 : angle; }  angle1 = getRotationDegrees($('#myDiv')); angle2 = getRotationDegrees($('.mySpan a:last-child')); 

etc...
