It seems to me that this is a fairly natural use case, although I could not find anything on it:
Let's say I have a fixed-width div that is dynamically populated with some number. What is the best way to ensure that numbers with a large number of numbers occupy smaller font sizes so that they fit well into this fixed width? Is there any CSS property for this, or do I need to resort to Javascript hacking?
There is no CSS property that automatically adjusts the font size based on a fixed container. You have to resort to javascript.
