CSS - Dynamically Resizing Image

I have been asked to create a font resize on a website. I can do the basics of it but I'm running into a couple snags

Question 1
In my stylesheet, I have:

Code:

#centerCol {
	float: left;
	color: #333;
	font-size: 10px; 
	padding: 10px 10px 10px 15px;
}

And in my code I have a function that contains:

Code:

document.getElementById('centerCol').style.fontSize = '12px';

It works fine to resize the centerCol ID but what if I want to only resize the <p> tags in the centerCol ID?

Question 2
Is there a way to resize without the use of Javascript? Everything I've found so far includes it.

Here is the code for what is basically the masthead for the top of a web page. It uses tables, and expands and contracts to fit the browser as the viewer re-sizes.

Quote:
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td><IMG src="images/banner_left_end.gif"></td>
<td width="100%" background="images/some_background.gif" align="middle" valign="center">
<!-- middle cell at 100% to push the left and right cells to the browser edges -->
</td>
<td><IMG src="images/banner_right_end.gif"></td>
</tr>
</table>



What I would like to do is get rid of the table and use DIV tags and CSS to do this, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to push the left image to the left and the right image to the right to make it grow and contract as the browser re-sizes.

How is this done?

I have attached the file, If you Open a File using that, the Textarea was styled to go to 90% (<textarea style="width:100%;height:90%;"></textarea>) this is designed only to work in IE!
Can someone please help me?
Thank you, In advance

Alright, this seems to be tricky, but here's the story:

I've got a photography gallery I made for a friend, and the last thing that needs to be taken care of is cross-browser compatability. I'm down to one problem of image resizing for thumbnails in IE.

I've seen a few solutions, but none of them seem to work, so maybe I'm just doing things wrong, but then again no site has talked about resizing both horiz. and vert.

For the site, any image thrown on the page needs to be resized to no greater then 105x100. But please, don't tell me to use PHP for this - I'm very attached to the fact that the entire site weighs in at under 300 lines.

Thanks,

Hi there!

I am tweaking a WordPress template to fit a blog for a roleplaying game. The template is a three-column, fixed-width one. It looks fine on my tiny 17" monitor at work, but at home on my 22", the blog is very small and sits in the center of the page. (The content section is just 904px wide.)

Is there a way to tweak the style.css file in order to give the columns percentage widths instead of absolute pixel widths, so that the center "content" area will resize properly according to the reader's resolution/monitor size/window size?

I have some experience with CSS and I'm usually pretty good at tweaking pre-existing CSS to fit my needs, but this is something that's a bit beyond me.


I can't put a direct URL in my post, but here's a snippet of the CSS file:


Code:

I'm looking to basically replicate the design of Engadget. Not entirely, just the real basic design of it. I'm trying to figure out how to use 4 different images (a right header, left header, left footer, right footer) to construct a site that resizes in different browsers to look good. How do I do this? I'm familiar with CSS and html. I want to make the images in Fireworks and slice them, but after I do that and have the html how do I do things like using a wrapper?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

http://hmv.co.in/temp/html/boxes.html

Hey people. I've been desperatly searching for a fix for the bug in my CSS, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Here is a link to the the testfile: http://users.skynet.be/bert_fonteyn...iek/index.html. The page validates as valid XHTML.

Now here is the bug in Windows (I have not tested it in Mac yet), both in Netscape 7 as in IE 6. Shrink your window, so you have a horizontal scrollbar. Scroll to the right, and you will notice there is a white area which can 't show the backgroundtile for some 60 px wide. The content (which is white) is there however...

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Greetz, Bert

Anyone know how to get your website's background to resize as the page is manually resized when using IE? It resizes properly on both on mac and PC using Firefox, Safari, and Opera, but not IE (on PC). Thanks

I fixed it on my own, thanks for the multitude of responses, not.

Sup all. Im trying to make a website but it keeps resizing when I expand and retract me webbrowser. So Far this is my code

What can I do to stop resizing?

I'm creating a site that works fine in FF. However, in IE, if I resize the window, the content doesn't move until I refresh the page. When I refresh the page, everything is centered again, but dragging IE to a new size, keeps everything in the same spot. Is there a fix for this?

Unfortunately, I don't have the site posted, but may be able to throw it up somewhere if needed.

Thanks.

Edit: Nevermind. Had the body set to a certain width. Took that out and it works.
