Prevent the HTML page from resizing

I'm trying to prevent the html page from moving, resizing while width page is under 1350 px.
Btw on my css code, for the width, height, transformation: translate, i'm using the value vmax , and not px or %. So the min-width maybe doesn't work with it, all of my elements keep resizing because they are using vmax, so they just adapt there size with the window size too.. :(
I tried this but this doesn't work too (I was trying to stop resizing the three white rectangle, tabcmp0, 1 and 2)
#media only screen and (max-width: 1350px) {
#tabcmp0 {
width: 370px;
}
#tabcmp1 {
width: 370px;
}
#tabcmp2 {
width: 370px;
}
body {
max-width: 1350px;
}
}
Code + preview
See this page for exemple , when she is less than some px, the page stop from resizing and a scroll bar appear, i want the same result but i don't know how to do it ...

i think there is no choice to return px model if you want to create a static content there.
#media only screen and (max-width: 1350px) {
#tabcmp0 {
width: 370px;
height:580px;
left:210px;
}
#tabcmp1 {
width: 370px;
height:580px;
left:590px;
}
#tabcmp2 {
width: 370px;
height:580px;
left:980px;
}
.select_dev {
width:202.5px;
}
body {
max-width: 1350px;
}
}
i think you should give all exact px values instead of dynamic vmax values like that for each element like headers, left menu etc...

IE10< svg max-width does not set correct proportions

I have prepared a fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/uj0uhkkq/1/
<div class="papa">
<img src="image.svg" />
</div>
<style>
.papa {
width: 250px;
height: 50px;
}
.papa>img {
max-width: 250px;
max-height: 50px;
}
</style>
In IE 10 and below the image looks like this:
...in any other "recent" Browser the svg has correct proportions.
Is there any way to fix this for IE 10 and below? If not maybe Javascript can calculate the dimensions?
(Why do I not just set the actual height and width of the svg??? Well because I have the img-element load svg-logos of clients dynamically - of course each has different dimensions)

the natural height/width of the svg image is 601x601 (see source for https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f4/I-8_%28AZ%29.svg), viz a square... so the max-height (or height) and max-width (or width) rules must be the same to maintain the aspect ratio....
<div class="papa">
<img src="image.svg" />
</div>
<style>
.papa {
width: 250px;
height: 50px;
}
.papa>img {
width: 50px;
margin:0 auto;
}
</style>

Proportional width div with 100% height (without JS?) [duplicate]

I need to maintain the width of an element as a percentage of its height. So as the height changes, the width is updated.
The opposite is achievable by using a % value for padding-top, but padding-left as a percentage will be a percentage of the width of an object, not its height.
So with markup like this:
<div class="box">
<div class="inner"></div>
</div>
I'd like to use something like this:
.box {
position: absolute;
margin-top: 50%;
bottom: 0;
}
.inner {
padding-left: 200%;
}
To ensure the box's aspect ratio is maintained according to it's height. The height is fluid because of it's % margin - as the window's height changes, the box's height will too.
I know how to achieve this with JavaScript, just wondering if there's a clean CSS-only solution?

You can use an image that has the desired proportions as to help with proportional sizing (images can be scaled proportionally by setting one dimension to some value and other to auto). The image does not have to be visible, but it must occupy space.
.box {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
height: 50%;
}
.size-helper {
display: block;
width: auto;
height: 100%;
}
.inner {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
background: rgba(255, 255, 153, .8);
}
<div class="box">
<img class="size-helper" src="//dummyimage.com/200x100/999/000" width="200" height="100">
<div class="inner">
1. box has fluid height<br>
2. img has 2:1 aspect ratio, 100% height, auto width, static position<br>
2.1 it thus maintains width = 200% of height<br>
2.2 it defines the dimensions of the box<br>
3. inner expands as much as box
</div>
</div>
In the above example, box, inner and helper are all same size.

You can use vh units for both height and width of your element so they both change according to the viewport height.
vh
1/100th of the height of the viewport. (MDN)
DEMO
.box {
position: absolute;
height:50vh;
width:100vh;
bottom: 0;
background:teal;
}
<div class="box"></div>

There is another, more efficient way to achieve constant aspect ratio according to height.
You can place an empty svg so you dont have to load an external image.
HTML code:
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
height="100"
width="200"
class='placeholder-svg'
/>
CSS code:
.placeholder-svg {
width: auto;
height: 100%;
}
Change width/height to achieve desired aspect ratio.
Keep in mind, the svg might overflow.
http://www.w3.org/2000/svg is just a namespace. It doesn't load anything.
If you change placeholder-svg class to:
.placeholder-svg {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
then height is adjusted according to width.
Demo 1 Width is adjusted according to height and 2:1 aspect ratio.
Demo 2 same as above, but you can resize easily (uses React)

The CSS trick you wrote, works pretty well to keep ratio width / height on an element.
It is based on the padding property that, when its value is in percent, is proportional to parent width, even for padding-top and padding-bottom.
There is no CSS property that could set an horizontal sizing proportionally to the parent height.
So I think there is no clean CSS solution.

As of 2021 there is a property called aspect-ratio.
Most browsers support it
div {
border: 1px solid;
margin: 8px;
}
.box {
width: 100px;
min-height: 100px;
resize: horizontal;
overflow: auto;
}
.inner1 {
aspect-ratio: 1/1;
}
.inner2 {
aspect-ratio: 3/1;
}
<div class="box">
<div class="inner1"></div>
<div class="inner2"></div>
</div>
Run this snippet and resize the outer div manually to see the inner divs behavior

I can't find a pure CSS solution. Here's a solution using CSS Element Queries JavaScript library.
var aspectRatio = 16/9;
var element = document.querySelector('.center');
function update() {
element.style.width = (element.clientHeight * aspectRatio) + 'px';
}
new ResizeSensor(element, update);
update();

Div Square, width size based on 100% height

I'm trying to make a responsive square with the width size based on the (100%) height of the element. I believe it's impossible using only CSS.
The square width should be equal to the height (100% of the large container. The large container is more than 100% of the screen). The ratio has to be width=height to keep the square.

You could do this with a tiny inline image.
No JS, no extra files.
.container {
height: 150px;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
background: #acd;
}
.square {
display: inline-block;
height: 100%;
background: #691;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="square">
<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" height="100%">
</div>
</div>

For a CSS-only solution (where you're sizing relative to the screen size), use viewport units. For example:
#media screen and (orientation:landscape) {
.box{
height: 100vh;
width: 100vh;
}
}
#media screen and (orientation:portrait) {
.box{
height: 100vw;
width: 100vw;
}
}
(You may want to reduce it to 98 units to eliminate scrolling)
Works great for divs that need to take up a precise proportion of screen space.
JSFiddle here.

Take a look... at the aspect-ratio property.
This property makes creating a square div based on height, in the easiest method possible. Here's some example code:
h2 {
font-family: calibri;
}
#parent {
height: 96px;
width: 256px;
background: grey;
margin-bottom: 16px;
}
#child {
height: 80px;
aspect-ratio: 1 / 1;
background: lightgrey;
}
#anotherParent {
height: 96px;
width: 256px;
background: grey;
}
#anotherChild {
height: 50%;
aspect-ratio: 1 / 1;
background: lightgrey;
}
<h2>Absolute height (80px/96px)</h2>
<div id="parent">
<div id="child">
</div>
</div>
<h2>Relative height (50%)</h2>
<div id="anotherParent">
<div id="anotherChild">
</div>
</div>
Here are a couple of links to help you understand the aspect-ratio property:
https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/a/aspect-ratio/
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/aspect-ratio
https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/115008538927

Since a square has same width and the height, and you know the width of the square, you can apply the same value to height.
If you can use JS, then please try this: (jQuery)
var wiDth = $('div').css('width'); // get width
$('div').css('height', wiDth); // apply that value to the height
Try it here: http://jsfiddle.net/afzaal_ahmad_zeeshan/vpGUK/

You can accomplish this using javascript. I'm assuming that you have a larger div container, in which you want a square, whose height is the same height as the container. The html is as follows:
<div id="container">
<div id="square" style="height:100%;">
</div>
</div>
In javascript, you would simply do:
<script>
var container = document.getElementById("container");
var square = document.getElementById("square");
square.style.width = container.style.height;
window.onresize=function(){
square.style.width = container.style.height;
};
<script>
Hope that helps

I think this can be a good 'css only' solution for you.
Cross browser working.

Good to highlight this nice css rule:
If the vertical paddings (and margins) are specified in percent (%) values the size is a percent of the width of the containing element.

Put it on your <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script> and try with jquery:
var totalHeight = 0;
$("#yourContainer").children().each(function(){
totalHeight += $(this).height;
});
$("#yourContainer").css('width', totalHeight + 'px');

Ok here the solution.
<div id="square" style="background-color:black;height:100%">test</div>
$(window).ready(updateWidth);
$(window).resize(updateWidth);
function updateWidth()
{
var square = $('#square');
var size = square.height();
square.css('width',size);
}
http://jsfiddle.net/j372H/7/

You can assign width and height to the container like this
.container {
width: 100vh;
height: 100vh;
}
It will create a square div with 100% height and width=height.

Resizing Images As Window is Resized?

Currently I have four images side by side. When the window is resized or viewed on a smaller device it does a line jump (three images and the fourth one beneath it). However what I want is for all four images to just shrink relative to the window size. To make it clear, I've included some images and my code. Here's the jsfiddle as well: http://jsfiddle.net/hxeJb/
^ That is what I currently have.
^ That is what I want to achieve.
HTML:
<div id="headerline">
<img src="http://s21.postimg.org/l6t6akypj/line.jpg"/>
</div>
<div id="menu">
<img class ="blog" src="http://s18.postimg.org/il7hbk7i1/image.png">
<img class ="music" src="http://s18.postimg.org/4st2fxgqh/image.png">
<img class ="projects" src="http://s18.postimg.org/sxtrxn115/image.png">
<img class ="bio" src="http://s18.postimg.org/5xn4lb37d/image.png">
</div>
CSS:
#headerline {
width: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
margin: -10px auto 20px auto;
}
#menu {
max-width: 700px;
text-align: center;
margin: auto;
}
#menu img {
width: 150px;
}

http://jsfiddle.net/hxeJb/2/
#menu img {
width: 20%;
}
See if this help you, just don't provide a fixed width, let image width relative to its parent width

Observing your CSS part in jsFiddle, I think assigning width in percentage rather than fixed pixels will resolve your problem.
You can try this instead of current CSS.
#menu img {
width: 31.33%;
}
Hope this might help you.

The other answers are probably all correct but you may want to add a max-width: 150px; so that hte image does not expand too big and lose quality.
#menu img {
width: 30%;
max-width: 150px;
}
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/hxeJb/4/

Try with the width in percentage to set the image size as per the browser width. It's always preferable to set the width in percentage(instead of pixel) while re-sizing the element based on window re-sizing.
#menu img {
width: 25%; //give the width as per the requirement
}
Hope this will solve your problem :)
