    <p>The goal is to have the <code>&lt;svg&gt;</code> element expand to the size of its parent container, in this case a <code>&lt;div&gt;</code>, no matter how big or small that container may be.</p> <p>The code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;style&gt; svg, #container{ height: 100%; width: 100%; } &lt;/style&gt; &lt;div id="container"&gt; &lt;svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1" &gt; &lt;rect x="0" y="0" width="100" height="100" /&gt; &lt;/svg&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>The most common solution to this problem seems to be setting the <code>viewBox</code> attribute on the <code>&lt;svg&gt;</code> element. </p> <pre><code>viewBox="0 0 widthOfContainer heightOfContainer" </code></pre> <p>However, this does not seem to work in cases where elements within the <code>&lt;svg&gt;</code> element have predefined widths and/or heights. For example, the <code>&lt;rect&gt;</code> element, in the above code, has its width and height explicitly set.</p> <p>So the obvious solution is to use % widths and % heights on those elements as well. But does this even have to be done? Especially, since <code>&lt;img src=test.svg &gt;</code> works fine and expands/contracts without any problems with explicitly set <code>&lt;rect&gt;</code> heights and widths.</p> <p>If elements like <code>&lt;rect&gt;</code>, and other elements like it, have to have their widths and heights defined in percentages, is there a way in Inkscape to set it so that all elements with the <code>&lt;svg&gt;</code> document use percentage widths, heights, etc.. instead of fixed dimensions?</p>
