Flipping an image with JS/Jquery

I am looking to flip an image. I have gotten the css to work using:

    -moz-transform: scaleX(-1);
    -o-transform: scaleX(-1);
    -webkit-transform: scaleX(-1);
    transform: scaleX(-1);
    filter: FlipH;
    -ms-filter: "FlipH";

I am looking to apply this to an image but am unsure of the formatting.

I tried doing: var flip = "-moz-transform: scaleX(-1),-o-transform: scaleX(-1),-webkit-transform: scaleX(-1),transform: scaleX(-1),filter: FlipH,-ms-filter: 'FlipH'";

And then: $("#chicken").delay(scrolllen).fadeOut(0).css({ left: 2600 + "px" , top : 2370 + "px" + flip}).fadeIn(0).animate({ left: 1600 + "px" , top : 2370 + "px"}, 5000, 'linear'); at a later point, but it doesn't seem to apply.

I'm not completely sure I understand what you're looking for.

I'm thinking perhaps it can be done without any JavaScript at all? If you're looking to flip along the X axis, with some animation?

Flipping Image on Hover

JSFiddle: Image Flip on :hover

For this demo, I had to place the image HTML into a wrapper <div>, because otherwise the :hover and the scale() changes conflict with one another in funky ways. You'll understand if you remove the wrapper <div>.

HTML

<div class="flippy">
    <img src="http://lorempixel.com/200/200/"/>
</div>

CSS:

.flippy>img {
    /**/-moz-transform:scale(1,1);-webkit-transform:scale(1,1);
    transform:scale(1,1);
    /**/-webkit-transition:all 600ms ease;-webkit-transition:all 600ms ease;
    transition:all 600ms ease; }

    .flippy:hover>img {
        /**/-moz-transform:scale(-1,1);-webkit-transform:scale(-1,1);
        transform:scale(-1,1); }

If you need to control it with JavaScript, it should be easy enough to replace the :hover with another class, like .flipped, then do as you please in JS to activate it's flip state on and off.

Flipping Image on Attribute (click-based demo)

jsFiddle: Image Flip on Attribute

In this demo, the image flips when is has the flipped attribute set.

JavaScript:

// Toggles the 'flipped' attribute on the <img> tag.
$('.flippy').click(function(){
    if ($(this).attr('flipped'))
        $(this).removeAttr('flipped');
    else $(this).attr('flipped','flipped');
});

CSS:

/* vendor-prefixes have been removed in this example */
/* We just change the scale based on the flipped attribute */
.flippy {
    transform:scale(1,1);
    transition:all 600ms ease; }

    .flippy[flipped] {
        transform:scale(-1,1); }

HTML: <img class="flippy" src="http://lorempixel.com/200/200/"/> -- as you can see, we no longer need the <div> wrapper for this example, as the :hover conflicts are no longer an issue.

Are you trying do to something like this?

$('#image').mouseover(function(){
    $(this).addClass('flipped');
}).mouseleave(function(){
    $(this).removeClass('flipped');
});

the css:

.flipped {
    transform: scale(-1, 1);
    -moz-transform: scale(-1, 1);
    -webkit-transform: scale(-1, 1);
    -o-transform: scale(-1, 1);
    -khtml-transform: scale(-1, 1);
    -ms-transform: scale(-1, 1);
}

<style type="text/css">
    .transform-image {     
        -moz-transform: scaleX(-1);
            -o-transform: scaleX(-1);
            -webkit-transform: scaleX(-1);
            transform: scaleX(-1);
            filter: FlipH;
            -ms-filter: "FlipH";
        }
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
  $("#chicken").hover(function(){
           $(this).addClass("transform-image") },   
     function () {
           $(this).removeClass("transform-image");
         };
})
</script>

I'd just use a class, like so:

.flipped {
    -moz-transform: scaleX(-1);
    -o-transform: scaleX(-1);
    -webkit-transform: scaleX(-1);
    transform: scaleX(-1);
    filter: FlipH;
    -ms-filter: "FlipH";
}

Then just swap the class:

$("#chicken").delay(2000).fadeOut(1, function() {
    $(this).addClass('flipped').show()
           .animate({ left: 1600 + "px" , top : 2370 + "px"}, 5000, 'linear');
});

FIDDLE
