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).

    • Similar to what started me on the path to switching to Linux... for the first 6mo of Win10 it was installing an AMD GPU driver that broke audio over HDMI which was essential to me. Driver from AMDs site was fine.
    • I have avoided many deer, a few moose, and other smaller animals during my years of driving and have managed just fine with only ABS and ESP, both of which can also be problematic depending on circumstance. I have never feared driving and I live in a rural area with a lot of deer and other animals. Winter or summer, heavy rain or sunshine, night or day, I always prefer and like to drive myself, and I drive constantly in my job. People die in accidents and they always will, that is a fact of life. Something like self-driving busses I can advocate for because they can be set to drive on static routes that always stay the same - i.e. those routes can be specially designed and maintained for them. I've already seen enough idiots doing random idiotic things with their Tesla autodrives that I would rather see them crash and burn because of their own stupidity instead of their "computer failing". I've also been a PC and tech enthusiast of over 25 years so I I'm fine with tech but I want to be the one who uses it, and decides how much of it I use. I also do not want it to make my hands, feet and brain obsolete. For me it's not really about if a computer can do it but about people not having to do things themselves (responsibly). I think that basic driving education should be done with a manual car and these "automatic only" cards should not exist (yes, I'm European and we drive a lot of manual cars, I even prefer them). If a person doesn't have enough coordination to manage a steering wheel, shitfer and pedals, how on Earth are they able to react to any unforseen situation on the road? And giving them autodrive doesn't make me feel any better if the person behind the wheel can't manage even basic driving themselves. One of the things I hate most in today's society (in general) is how pretty much everything that is considered even a bit dangerous is eliminated instead of educating people to assess risks and avoid problems themselves. Instead we make brains obsolete by building systems that do everything for us.
    • I know, I was just speaking about people in general.
    • I would say that's a purely subjective opinion, Phaseman.
