Animation Conundrum

So I’ve decided to go through a book - cover to cover covering some int-adv animations. And i’m touching on EVERY example. No matter how rudimentary or obvious it may seem. You know, like stretching before a game of bball. Well. thank the lord I did… I have this silly bit of code that has been throwing me for a loop.

I’m just trying to skew this img positively in the x direction aaaaaaaand, it’s working - but backwards.
What the hell?? Is there something i’m not seeing here??

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Simple CSS3 Transformation</title> </head>
<body>
<img src=“img/blackmilk.jpg” alt=“Black Milk” style=“width: 300px; height: 300px; float: left; margin: 0 2em 1.4em 0;
-moz-transform: skewX(21deg); -o-transform: skewX(21deg);
-ms-transform: skewX(21deg); -webkit-transform: skewX(21deg);
transform: skewX(21deg);

simple: img. content, some inline css, and it’s leaning left instead of right.

And this is not the only bit. Some of my other examples aren’t working either (scaling). So there must be something wrong here.

?

…aaaaaaand i’m a complete idiot. I figured this one out. Thx!

So, was it -21deg or skewY that worked?

I disagree. You not only used the word ‘conundrum’ [properly] in a forum post, you even spelled it correctly!

Ha. The best part? IT RHYMES. :wink: Now THAT’s how you write a heading.

The author wrote me back and sent me a codepen to show me i wasn’t crazy. http://bit.ly/1gK91bA

So I’ll go as such moving fwd.
