Hello matanl1234,
It sounds like you are using absolute positioning to place your div element. Do you have some code for us to see the problem in action?

I did not use any css programming, if it helps i used visual studio 2010.

We'd still need to see your code to know what's happening. A link to the test site would be even better.

I created this example: http://jsfiddle.net/shLjX/ .
Its simillar to to the problem i'm having, the div's width changes too instead of only getting smaller or bigger.

In that example, you don't give div.a a size so it takes what's available to it minus the left and right 50px margin. I did not try it out... not sure that's really how it works.

Maybe you're looking for a percentage based layoutlike this?

I tried percentage based layout before and didn't like it so much.
Can you give me a simple example of a div that stays in the same location when zooming?
