I've been trying to achieve the following without having to declare all the nth-of-type(x):






li:nth-of-type(2) 
transform: scale(0.9);

li:nth-of-type(3)
transform: scale(0.81);

li:nth-of-type(4)
transform: scale(0.729);

li:nth-of-type(5)
transform: scale(0.6561);

<ul>
<li>LI 1</li>
<li>LI 2</li>
<li>LI 3</li>
<li>LI 4</li>
<li>LI 5</li>
</ul>





This snippet should probably works if transform was set as an “additive property”:






li ~ li 
transform: scale(0.9);

<ul>
<li>LI 1</li>
<li>LI 2</li>
<li>LI 3</li>
<li>LI 4</li>
<li>LI 5</li>
</ul>





I know how it can be done by reordering the HTML (but elements won't be siblings anymore) or by using some JavaScript but…

Isn't there any trick that makes the above possible only with CSS ?



Thanks in advance.

  • Hey @TemaniAfif ! You're always there... :) In fact, I chose transform because we can do a lot of things with it. And if it can be applied to transform, why not on another property?

  • with transform we may approximate what you want using a more generic transform combined with some perspective, etc (some hacks ..) as I don't think what you want is possible, the challenge is somehow the same as you previous question. There is no way to express values between sibling elements, only nested element may have some relation.

Unfortunately not. The only way i would know of is to give every li a class, but that would just shift the problem.



However there are loops in CSS Preprocessors like less or Sass, where you could iterate though the list and make the transform value smaller or bigger.
