CSS information

Standards information

There are no standards that apply here.

Remarks

Windows Internet Explorer 8. The IHTMLRuleStyle3::zoom attribute is an extension to CSS, and can be used as a synonym for zoom in IE8 Standards mode.

Setting the value of the IHTMLRuleStyle3::zoom property on a rendered object causes the content that surrounds the object to reflow.

Even though the IHTMLRuleStyle3::zoom property is not inherited, it affects its children. This effect is similar to the transformation caused by the IHTMLBodyElement::background and IHTMLStyle::filter properties.

Examples

This example provides controls that let the user adjust the IHTMLRuleStyle3::zoom property.
