Inline width being applied to elements in IE9 when display settings are set to 125% magnification

It seems that when a user adjusts their display settings to 125% from the Control Panel, IE9 will automatically add extra width inline to elements like this: 

<div class="container" id="main" style="width: 1500px">
<!-- Insert code here -->
</div>

This inline style with the added width is specific to IE9. Interestingly, IE8 does not manifest this issue and it appears to be linked to the 125% display setting in Windows. Chrome and Firefox do not exhibit this behavior and render correctly without any additional styles. Is there a workaround or solution available for this issue? We cannot control user settings, but we have observed other sites rendering properly under similar conditions.

Answer №1

After troubleshooting, I was able to come up with a solution using a conditional comment and jQuery:

<!--[if IE 9]>
  <script type="text/javascript">
      window.onload = function () {
        if ( $('#main').attr('style') !== 'undefined' ) {
          $('#main').removeAttr('style');
        }
      }
  </script>
<![endif]-->

This script essentially checks for the presence of a "style" attribute on a specific element in Internet Explorer, and removes it if found.

Answer №2

Sure thing, or if you prefer to be more precise with width and height

jQuery(document).ready(function () {
    removeInlineWidthHeight($('#main'));
});

function removeInlineWidthHeight(element) {
    element.attr('style', function (i, style) {
        return style.replace(/width[^;]+;?/g, '').replace(/height[^;]+;?/g, '');
    });
}
