Sizing SVG in HTML

[Tom]

Is there any way to show a SVG in a HTML in different sizes by changing
the
width and height attributes of the object/embed tag?

Assume a simple SVG like

<svg width="100" height="100">
<rect x="0" y="0" width="100" height="100"
style="fill:none;stroke:black"/>
<svg>

which is embeded in a HTML page like

<object type="image/svg+xml" data="simple.svg"
width="100" height="100">
<embed type="image/svg+xml" src="simple.svg"
width="100" height="100"></embed>
</object>

the SVG is always shown at size 100x100 no matter what I provide for
HTML width and height. Is there anything I can put into my SVG to make
it custom sizable?
I know I could write
<svg width="100%" height="100%">
<rect x="0%" y="0%" width="100%" height="100%"
style="fill:none;stroke:black"/>
<svg>
But that is not ok for me, except for the initial SVG width and height
attributes.

Hi,

I'm not an expert on the topic of SVG, but I'll try to help.

Instead of specifying the width and height on the svg element, specify the viewBox:

<svg viewBox="0 0 100 100">
<rect x="0" y="0" width="100" height="100"
style="fill:none;stroke:black"/>
<svg>

Now you should be able to scale it via HTML syntax.
