Changing width and height in html

Question

The width and hight of following code change, on the change of resolution of different devices.

<div style="background-color:orange;height:125px;width:75px;">
This div has height and width applied.
</div>

Is there any way to prevent change of width and height and make it retain same width and height for all resolution.

Note: For this I have also tried with zooming ( in and out ) the html page which changes the width and height of the div.

By resolution do you mean pixel density, or screen/viewport size? Technically speaking with height and width explicitly declared, the element should stay the same size. — Terry

You are defining the height and width in px. It should stay same — Ankur Aggarwal

If you mean you want to maintain scale, you should look at using <meta> tags: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0;"> — Terry

you need to probably add a viewport meta between your head tags:

<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1">

Use percentage instead of fixed pixels like :

<div style="background-color:orange;height:20%;width:20%;">

this will retain height and width on page resizing

U can resize with the @-viewport CSS Declaration! This is best practice
