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).

    • Resident Evil Requiem announced for early 2026, taking the story back to Raccoon City by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Summer Game Fest showcase today ended with a bang as Capcom delivered the announcement trailer for its next mainline Resident Evil game, finally showing off what it has in store for the ninth entry. Aptly dubbed Resident Evil Requiem, the game is described as a "heart-stopping experience that will chill you to your core." Watch the newly revealed announcement trailer above. The single-player horror game will follow Grace Ashcroft as a protagonist, an FBI agent investigating a series of unusual murders at a hotel named the Remnant Hotel, all linked to her mother's mysterious death. While a new face to the series, she may be related to a character from another Resident Evil game, Outbreak, from back in the day, though Capcom is yet to confirm any ties just yet. Rumors have suggested that Leon is returning in this entry as a playable character too, but the debut trailer did not drop any hints about this project being a dual-protagonist adventure. "A new era of survival horror begins in 2026," says Capcom regarding its latest Resident Evil experience. "Technological advancements combined with the development team's depth of experience combine in a story with rich characters and gameplay that's more immersive than ever before." It looks like the title is returning to its survival horror roots after going for more action-orientated entries in recent times. The original Raccoon City seems to be the setting again too, letting players return to ground zero of the virus outbreak, just in time for the series to hit its 30th anniversary. Resident Evil Requiem is launching across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 on February 27, 2026.
