Problem: My Client wants me to create a launch webpage for his product such that there should be no scroll on the page, be any browser or window dimensions.
Doubt: Is this possible using CSS and Javascript?
Some Early Diagnosis: This might be a little similar to this or this but the difference is that I want to resize the dimensions of each and every element in a particular ratio and not just adjust the height of a parent DIV.
So, the statement: I need to change the dimensions of each and every element (images, divs, text ... all) based on a ratio between the (current window size and a reference window size). Perhaps Javascript might have a cure for this?

Reset to default 3Just set the height and width of <html> and <body> to 100%, overflow to hidden and use percentages for left, top, width and height of elements:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset=UTF-8>
<title>Proportional resizing</title>
<style type="text/css">
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
div {
position: absolute;
left: 30%;
top: 20%;
width: 40%;
height: 30%;
background-color: #ddd;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>divthing</div>
</body>
</html>
These percentages are relative to the containing block, which is, in this case <body>.
Update: To answer another question: scaling of background images is almost not supported yet. When the CSS 3 background-size property gains ground (see this table), things will be easier. For now, have a look at this answer (yes, that means: more markup).
