Height equal to dynamic width (CSS fluid layout) [duplicate]

Answer 1

It is possible without any Javascript :)

The HTML:

    
Aspect ratio of 1:1
 

The CSS:

.box {
    position: relative;
    width:    50%; /* desired width */
}

.box:before {
    content:     "";
    display:     block;
    padding-top: 100%; /* initial ratio of 1:1*/
}

.content {
    position: absolute;
    top:      0;
    left:     0;
    bottom:   0;
    right:    0;
}

/* Other ratios - just apply the desired class to the "box" element */
.ratio2_1:before{
    padding-top: 50%;
}
.ratio1_2:before{
    padding-top: 200%;
}
.ratio4_3:before{
    padding-top: 75%;
}
.ratio16_9:before{
    padding-top: 56.25%;
}
