Windows 8 Javascript Resolution Scaling

Question

On Win8 desktop (1920x1080) my project looks great. On my Win8 laptop (1920x1080) the system reports effective resolution of 1371x771 and due to resolution scaling (of 140%) my project's elements no longer fit. Can someone please point me to some REAL code to prevent Win8 from applying the 140% scaling to a heterogeneous container of images, text, input controls, etc.? Ideally, I'd like to apply no scaling to entire page fragments. TIA!

You are right, you don't want to apply scaling. Instead, you need your pages to be more or less independent on the window size.

Say firm "no" to absolute positioning (as a rule of thumb) and fixed design.

You need to learn liquid, fluid and elastic Web page design. Please see:
