javascript - Can I zoom into a web page like IE or Firefox do, using programming?

Question

Simple - I have a layout that is 800 by 600. When I press Ctrl and +, it zooms in and looks wonderful.

I want to know if there's a CSS/Javascript way to do the same? Without the user having to do it (because users will not do it and see the small layout).

Same question was posted by someone Setting IE "Optical Zoom" feature using Javascript/CSS that got no good replies.

Answer 1

There is a zoom CSS property, but it is part of CSS3 and is most likely not widely supported. By setting this on the body element using JavaScript you can zoom the entire page.

I would agree with the sentiments of the answers to the question you linked to though in that it should be up to the user to choose their own zoom settings. If your site is too big/small to see, it indicates a problem with your site design.
