Text and paragraph proportional to div width

Hi,

Is there a way to make the font-size and paragraph height change according to div width?

Hi Bruno,

Im sure if it was a must you could use jQuery to track the specific elements width and then use if statements to control the css properties at your chosen div widths .....

However this seems a little excessive for something that could be done using a couple a media queries at the right points..

It would definitely depend on your own opinion to whether this was totally necessary :)

Hope this helps

Craig

Hi Craig,

Yes I end up using a Jquery plugin to achieve that. The plugin that I used is this one: https://github.com/marcj/css-element-queries (really good one by the way).

Thank you for your help mate.
