Is it possible to set width in CSS in percents of height? Like on picture:
No, you can't do this with CSS.
You can not set height like that in css.
There is little use even if You can, because different users have different preferences about using toolbar which occupy height on monitor, some even have multiple lines of bookmarks, some view Web in full screen - therefore there is no point of setting page layout according to browser height.
Only good recommendation is setting width to 1000px because most current day monitor resolutions can display that without horizontal scroll.

Demo
I want to make responsiveness behaviour like at this site.
There is meta viewport content set to width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, but if i resize browser vieport size by reducing its width (about 200px width and smaller), content scales proportionally and responsiveness "swithes off".
You can compare this site and jsFiddle demo with picture below. The same text with the same font-size, but scales differently.
UPD
I need to know how can i set 20px font size and it will scale proportionally like without using meta viewport. Try to make a <h1> with meta viewport and without one, you will understand what i mean
Your question is unclear, but assuming you're talking about the fact that on your demo, the content is blocking its resize after a certain minimum width:
It is important to understand the function of the meta viewport.
The viewport is the user's visible area of a web page.
The viewport varies with the device, and will be smaller on a mobile phone than on a computer screen.

This function prevents a user to zoom in or out on your website. The code you give us says that the width of your webpage must be the width of the parent viewport (equal to your browser's viewable area), that the initial zoom has to be 1 (that means no initial zoom is set) and that the maximum scale can be 1 (that means no zooming in allowed).
The fact that your website is responsive until a certain minimum width hasn't any direct link to the meta viewport.
The responsiveness of a website is based on what's called breakpoints in CSS. This gives certain CSS rules based on the viewport properties (in responsive cases: if the screen's width is between a certain minimum amount of px and a maximum amount). According to what I can understand, you actually need to set the CSS min-width attribute to your website's body like this:
body {
min-width: 300px; /*You'll have to set the value you wish here*/
}
The next thing you have to do is choose how you will handle screens smaller than 300px. There are two options after this:
You can choose to force-give your webpage the device's width and prevent horizontal scrolling but this will hide all the overflow. I personally suggest not to use this technique. For doing this, you'll need to hide all html's overflow with this CSS: html {max-width: 100vw; overflow-X: hidden;}.
The other (better) option is to give your webpage the minimum required width. This will allow horizontal scrolling and a better user experience. To do so, use this CSS code: html {min-width: 300px; overflow-X: visible;} (remember to replace 300px with your desired minimum width).
This should be all for now. Remember that there are hundreds of guides for responsive web design available. Hope your issue is solved.
The solution was simple. I needed just set body min-width
I want a page with a fixed pixel size to always have the same percantage hight. I cant just use % or any other relative units since I already made the whole site in pixels.
Means when I have a div with a hight of 1500px and view it on a 1366x768 screen the whole 1500px div should still be visable completely.
The effect I want to accomplish is something similar to a browser zoom.
You could try min-height: 1500px; on the div, then put overflow-y: auto on the body or html elements.
If you want something to dynamically resize depending on the window height you'll want to look into either CSS flexbox, using the vh sizing, or using javascript to detect window resizing.
You could use the viewport meta tag for that. Just remove the "initial-scale=1" part and the page should always be rendered to fit the screen.
You should note that this might result in the page being shown very small which can lead to problems when people want to access it with a smartphone for example. If you want to optimize your page for different devices and screens, I suggest you make yourself familiar with responsive webdesign.
Something like height: 100vh; would make the object's height 100 percent of the viewport height. It seems like there is no way around switching from px to something else.
I'm trying to make a horizontal layout (with columns) where the content scales based on the browser window height.
I came across answers about perfect ratio based on width, but I want to have an infinite width (as the amount of content won't always be the same).
Is this possible just using HTML/CSS?
It is going to be hard to maintain the aspect ratio with css, but if you set the height of the maincontent box to 90% and the height of the containers to 100%. They should respond to
the browser window. But only in height, never in width.
From there you can use javascript to set the with to be <height> * 1.5 (or similar) you will have to do this in the document ready event, but also in the window resize event.
I had to redo a website from flash to html/jquery.
Everything looked great. Until I tested the site on a netbook where the screen resolution is much smaller. All the elements were misaligned or didn't stretch as I wanted it to. Or there were scroll bars everywhere.
So, How would do I make it stretch or resize properly,
Is there a property which I can set somewhere that would resize everything proportionately?
You should use heigh / width in percentage(%) rather px / em. change the css file.
Is there a property which I can set somewhere that would resize everything proportionately?
No, I wish :P You'll need to redo the layout to make it liquid or use media queries to make it responsive to different resolutions. I'm afraid both solutions could be pretty complex.
Is there a property which I can set somewhere that would resize everything proportionately?
Everything? No. Font sizes won't adjust based on window size (at least not without JS).
You can set the widths of most things using percentage units in your stylesheets, but even then there will be a point where things will break down.
The current buzzword is responsive web design (I can't comment on the quality of the links from that page) in which media queries are used to provide different designs for different sized browsers.
The property called Media Query we mostly use this property with Responsible Web Design. In which we tell browsers change the specific css property at that particular screen size.
Check this article for more http://css-tricks.com/6206-resolution-specific-stylesheets/
& for Responsible Web Design mostly use value in Percentage instead of Pixels .
Check THIS website for more reference.
unfortunately there is no "magic" which scales things up/down. i can think of some guidelines:
Use relative widths for things (percentages) instead of absolute value
no hardwired sizes, keep them in separate CSS documents
work your way up: choose a minimum resolution, work upwards from it. it makes sizing things much easier.
The question was to RESIZE not to REALIGN. Using percentiles will only change WHERE the HTML elements show up on the page. It will not change their SIZE.
you can use with and height in percentage to set your screen for all resoulation..Give the 100% width to the body and the div you want give 100% width.
I am new to Div based Page Layouts. My questions is should we design div based page layouts using percentage or fixed pixel?
If percentage, what about cross browser compatibility?
If fixed pixels, what about different screen resolution? What screen resolution should we opt for?
Also, what should be the bases for our decision?
Most div based page layouts use fixed pixel widths, not percentages.
Using percentages has its advantages in very few scenarios - if you have a page that you want to change width based on window/browser, you'd use this. But I honestly can't think of the last time I saw a site that did this.
Fixed pixel widths allows you to actually design what your site will look like regardless of browser, screen resolution...etc.
When creating a layout with fixed widths, usually you create a "container" div that is around 960px wide (see http://960.gs/). This width is used because it fits most browsers/screen resolutions (eg - anything 1024x768 and above)
The "container" is usually centered on the page (though sometimes it's left aligned) - for examples, see msn.com, yahoo.com, stackoverflow.com ...etc. These are all fixed widths, not percentage (you can test this by changing the size of your window and seeing that their content does not change)
