What about CSS3 responsive web design?

No JavaScript required, just uses CSS

 

Add

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

to the header, and then in the CSS file,

@media screen and (max-width: 320px) {

}

Or can always use Bootstrap 3.0, which uses responsive web design as well

CSS3 responsive is not what he needs in this case I think he wants it to work like a img element that gets bigger and smaller proportionally   :p

$(document).ready(function(){
	zoom = $(window).width()/$("body").width()*100;
	document.body.style.zoom = zoom+"%"
}

This might work, crazy code though.

So, like example not my site here, but similar issue - http://www.ci.mcminnville.or.us/

 

That site, if you are on a widescreen monitor, it's a fixed width size. If you press CTRL+ x 4 in your browser (I am on 2560x1440) it is then full screen, without as much empty space on each of the sides.

 

I'd like something like this to happen automatically depending on the users browser window size. without losing the formatting of the content.

body { zoom: 1.5; }

kind of works, in the HTML, but not in the CSS file, and I don't want to apply it to each and every html file.

Tried my code?

 

I tested following code myself on that site and it works:

$(document).ready(function(){
	zoom = $(window).width()/$("#wrapper").width()*100;
	document.body.style.zoom = zoom+"%"
}
$(window).on('resize', function(){
	zoom = $(window).width()/$("#wrapper").width()*100;
	document.body.style.zoom = zoom+"%"
});

	zoom = $(window).width()/$("#wrapper").width()*100;
	document.body.style.zoom = zoom+"%"
});

 

Where do I apply that into? Does that fall between <script></script> tags in the html?

 

BTW I did try 

html {
    zoom: 0.8; /* Old IE only */
    -moz-transform: scale(0.8);
    -webkit-transform: scale(0.8);
    transform: scale(0.8);
}

But that actually cut off like 20% of the top and I couldn't scroll up.

Make sure that you use the correct element in the code I gave, it could be body but also #wrapper depending on what is the fixed width css element container.

 

Just put it in a file called something.js

and add these 2 lines to your header in html:

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="something.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Hmm not seeing any change in the formatting. I have

 

zoom.js in /scripts

$(document).ready(function(){
	zoom = $(window).width()/$("#body").width()*100;
	document.body.style.zoom = zoom+"%"
}
$(window).on('resize', function(){
	zoom = $(window).width()/$("#body").width()*100;
	document.body.style.zoom = zoom+"%"
});

And in index.html in the <head> section

<script src="/ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="/scripts/zoom.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Try just body instead of #body

Seems I typed } instead of }); for document ready...    try:

$(document).ready(function(){
	zoom = $(window).width()/$("body").width()*100;
	document.body.style.zoom = zoom+"%";
});
$(window).on('resize', function(){
	zoom = $(window).width()/$("body").width()*100;
	document.body.style.zoom = zoom+"%";
}); 

Tell me if it worked ^^

You made a mistake with jquery in <head>

<script src="/ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

should be:

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

// means for http://

 

And js in your case:

$(document).ready(function(){
	zoom = $(window).width()/$("body table tbody").width()*100;
	document.body.style.zoom = zoom+"%";
});
$(window).on('resize', function(){
	zoom = $(window).width()/$("body table tbody").width()*100;
	document.body.style.zoom = zoom+"%";
});

I downloaded it locally, the version - jquery-1.11.0.min.js and pointed to it in the <head> if that will work ok? also put that in PM just FYI

Ok this is working, Chrome, it's edge to edge, but can you load the live site now in IE 11, it's pushing the content to the far right. And BTW I just scaled it down to *75 instead of *100

 

Edit: Also IE8 same issue.

Yeah IE is a acting like a bad boy again...

Fix:

 

css:

body {
	overflow-x: hidden;
}

additional js file called iefix.js

function detectIE() {
	var ua = window.navigator.userAgent;
	var msie = ua.indexOf('MSIE ');
	var trident = ua.indexOf('Trident/');
	if (msie > 0) {
		return parseInt(ua.substring(msie + 5, ua.indexOf('.', msie)), 10);
	}
	if (trident > 0) {
		var rv = ua.indexOf('rv:');
		return parseInt(ua.substring(rv + 3, ua.indexOf('.', rv)), 10);
	}
}
$(document).ready(function(){
	if(detectIE()){
		fix = $(window).width()/$("body table tbody").width()*75/2;
		$("body").css("margin-left","-"+fix+"%");
	}
});
$(window).on('resize', function(){
	if(detectIE()){
		fix = $(window).width()/$("body table tbody").width()*75/2;
		$("body").css("margin-left","-"+fix+"%");
	}
});

Let's see if that works

 

Edit: Changed px to % in code

Edit2: added "-"+

Edit3: changed ,, to , just a typo

 

Should work now(just tested).

    • Only option I want is to disable the system tray overflow menu and always show icons, W11 added option to hide the menu but then icons will still go there instead of the tray.
    • Windows 11 blocks Google Chrome due to a Microsoft safety feature, fix out by Sayan Sen Microsoft has a parental control and safety feature called "Microsoft Family Safety" which allows users to create safe spaces for their family members for browsing the web by setting up filters so as to block and filter inappropriate content and limit browsing to kid-friendly and family friendly content. However, as it turns out, following Chrome version updates 137.0.7151.68, 137.0.7151.69, Google's web browser is getting automatically blocked by Microsoft Family Safety as affected users have reported that the browser will automatically close or crash and then fail to reopen. Thus if you are using Edge, you get the green signal from the Family Safety app, but not if you are using Google Chrome. The issue seems to be affecting mainly Windows 11 devices but Windows 10 or macOS may be affected too. A thread on Microsoft's official Windows forum by Peter Priestley1, which is presumably from an educational institute, says: The thread has been upvoted by 122 people at the time of writing. There are plenty of other such threads online and users also say that they have tried all sorts of things like refreshing cookies and appdata but "nothing" seems to fix it. This shows that Microsoft's safety feature is certainly robust and that it is not easy to bypass but it also means affected users are not too happy about it considering it is seemingly blocking all versions of Chrome. There is one fix that worked though, renaming chrome.exe to something else like chrome1.exe for example. A Chrome community manager, Ellen T, has confirmed that the Microsoft feature is indeed what is causing it and the only way to fix the issue is to "unblock Chrome" inside the Family Safety app. Ellen says: Microsoft has also shared a similar guidance on the issue according to Fred SR., a senior member of the Chrome community.
