Stretch <svg> inside an <embed> to fit window size

Answer 1

All browsers should be able to handle this just fine:

• add a viewBox to the svg element (s17.svg in your example) without using script if possible
• remove the width and height attributes on the svg element if they are specified
• add an attribute preserveAspectRatio="none" to the svg element to make it stretch even if the css-viewport aspect ratio doesn't match the viewBox aspect ratio.
• set the width/height of the embed/iframe/object to whatever you want and the svg will automatically stretch to fit

If you don't want stretching then you can also do preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid slice" (fill whole viewport, slicing away parts if necessary) or preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" (this is the default, center the svg in the viewport and maintain the aspect ratio).
