Remarks
Windows Internet Explorer 8. The IHTMLCurrentStyle2::zoom attribute is an extension to CSS, and can be used as a synonym for zoom in IE8 Standards mode.
Setting the value of the IHTMLCurrentStyle2::zoom property on a rendered object causes the content that surrounds the object to reflow.
Even though the IHTMLCurrentStyle2::zoom property is not inherited, it affects its children. This effect is similar to the transformation caused by the IHTMLBodyElement::background and IHTMLCurrentStyle2::filter properties.
Examples
This example provides controls that let the user adjust the IHTMLCurrentStyle2::zoom property.
