I created a little game in Canvas, but I have a problem. Some users who have the default zoom set to something other than 100% can't see the entire game page.
I have tried using this CSS:
zoom: 100%;
This HTML
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0 , minimum-scale=1.0 , maximum-scale=1.0" />
And this JS:
style="zoom: 75%"
Any ideas how to programatically set the page zoom?
You can set zoom
property on page load
document.body.style.zoom = 1.0
But, zoom
is not a standard property for all browsers, I recommend using transform
instead.
var scale = 'scale(1)';
document.body.style.webkitTransform = scale; // Chrome, Opera, Safari
document.body.style.msTransform = scale; // IE 9
document.body.style.transform = scale; // General

You can reset the code with this:
$("input, textarea").focusout(function(){
$('meta[name=viewport]').remove();
$('head').append('<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=0">');
$('meta[name=viewport]').remove();
$('head').append('<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=yes">' );
});
I think, this is very helpful answer how to detect page zoom level in all modern browsers. Then the answer to your question for IE:
document.body.style.zoom = screen.logicalXDPI / screen.deviceXDPI;
The only way I found that works natively is in designing my HTML/CSS with the units "vw" and "vh" (% relative to the viewport) instead of "px". You can use it everywhere you used to put "px" (font-size, width, height, padding, margin, etc...). Very useful for a page designed to be display full screen only (no scroll) or "Kiosk-style". "vw" and "vh" are not affected by browser zoom.
