One handy feature in Firefox is the ability to enlarge an entire web page by pressing CTRL +. This action will proportionally increase the size of the entire webpage, including fonts and images.
Is there a way to achieve similar functionality using just CSS?
For example, could I use something like page-size: 150% to increase all elements on the page by a certain percentage?
To achieve zoom effects, consider utilizing the CSS property called zoom, which is compatible with IE 5.5+, Opera, Safari 4, and Chrome.

It is worth noting that Firefox does not support the zoom feature (see related bugzilla item), but you can use the -moz-transform property in Firefox 3.5 to achieve similar results.
You could utilize the following code snippet:
div.zoomed {
zoom: 3;
-moz-transform: scale(3);
-moz-transform-origin: 0 0;
}
It may be a delayed response, but here is a solution you can implement:
body {
transform: scale(1.1);
transform-origin: 0 0;
// don't forget to include prefixed versions as well.
}
This code snippet will enable you to zoom the page by 110%. Even though the zoom style exists, Firefox does not yet support it.
Furthermore, this method differs slightly from traditional zooming techniques. The css transform functions similarly to an image zoom, enlarging your page without triggering reflows or similar issues.
Note: I have updated the transform origin in response to feedback received.
Assuming your CSS relies heavily on ex or em units, there is a possibility and practicality to scale proportionally. Simply include font-size: 150% in the style for body or html. This adjustment should result in all other measurements scaling accordingly. Keep in mind that images will not scale unless styled appropriately.
However, this scenario is largely dependent on individual website setups.
Scaling may not be the ideal solution in this case
Further modifications such as adjusting margins and paddings will be necessary..
However, the most suitable approach is to use
zoom: 75%
In the code snippet below, I have implemented a method to scale the entire page using CSS properties. To prevent horizontal scrolling, it is crucial to set body.style.width as the inverse of the zoom factor. Additionally, setting transform-origin to the top left ensures that the top left corner of the document remains aligned with the window's top left corner.
var zoom = 1;
var width = 100;
function bigger() {
zoom = zoom + 0.1;
width = 100 / zoom;
document.body.style.transformOrigin = "left top";
document.body.style.transform = "scale(" + zoom + ")";
document.body.style.width = width + "%";
}
function smaller() {
zoom = zoom - 0.1;
width = 100 / zoom;
document.body.style.transformOrigin = "left top";
document.body.style.transform = "scale(" + zoom + ")";
document.body.style.width = width + "%";
}
Johannes mentioned that due to lack of reputation, commenting directly on his response wasn't feasible. However, it is possible to adjust elements' dimensions based on font size multiples. It is important to ensure that all units are specified as a percentage, em, or ex. While percentages are typically relative to the containing element rather than just the font size.
Typically, relative units like %, em, and ex aren't used for images since they are pixel-based. Nevertheless, there is a clever workaround to make this more manageable.
By setting body{font-size: 62.5%};, 1em will be equal to 10px. This method seems to work consistently across popular browsers.
Subsequently, you can define your 100px square images with width: 10em; height: 10em;. Assuming Firefox's scaling remains default, the images will display at their original size.
If you adjust body{font-size: 125%};, everything - including the images - will double in size from their original dimensions.
To Ensure Compatibility Across Different Browsers:
Here is an Example:
<html><body class="full-webpage"></body></html>
.full-webpage{
zoom: 2;
-moz-transform: scale(2);/* Firefox */
-moz-transform-origin: 0 0;
-o-transform: scale(2);/* Opera */
-o-transform-origin: 0 0;
-webkit-transform: scale(2);/* Safari */
-webkit-transform-origin: 0 0;
transform: scale(2); /* Standard */
transform-origin: 0 0; /* Standard */
}
This code snippet will set the font size of the body to be equivalent to 1% of the body's height.
document.body.style.fontSize = ((window.innerHeight/100)*6.25)+"%"
To adjust the zoom level, you must specify the zoom property in the style. The interesting part lies in how to calculate this value. Here is what I came up with.
let zoom = Number((window.innerWidth / window.screen.width).toFixed(3));
document.firstElementChild.style.zoom = zoom;
This formula calculates the ratio of the current window width to the actual device width.
It then applies this calculated value to the top-level HTML element's zoom property.
You can access the top-level HTML element using document.firstElementChild
To ensure the entire page adjusts accordingly, you can place this code inside a window.onresize function.
Additionally, set the height of the main wrapper div to 100% to avoid any white space when zooming.
Check out Jon Tan's website where he has utilized a unique approach - Every element, including images, has been specified in ems units. This meticulous attention to detail is what creates the desired outcome. Both text zoom and screen zoom produce nearly identical results.
While CSS alone cannot zoom on demand, incorporating JavaScript can allow you to adjust certain values to increase the appearance of a page. However, with this functionality already being a standard in modern browsers, there is no need to duplicate it. In fact, duplicating it could potentially decrease website performance (increased load times, additional JS or CSS processing, etc.)
