zoom

Summary

Specifies the magnification scale of the object.

Syntax

zoom: normal number percentage

Remarks

Setting the value of the zoom property on a rendered object causes the content that surrounds the object to reflow. Even though the zoom property is not inherited, it affects its children. This effect is similar to the transformation caused by the background and -ms-filter properties.

Examples

The following examples use the -ms-zoom attribute and the -ms-zoom property to change the magnification scale of a p element.

<STYLE>
  .clsTeenyWeeny  { zoom: 0.10 }
</STYLE>

[This example uses a style rule in an embedded style sheet to set the -ms-zoom attribute to one-tenth of normal. View live example]

This example uses inline scripting to set the -ms-zoom property to 200% when an onmouseover event occurs. The magnification scale returns to normal when the onmouseout event occurs.

<P onmouseover="this.style.zoom='200%'"
   onmouseout="this.style.zoom='normal'">

This example provides controls that let the user adjust the -ms-zoom property.
