    have you tried `width: 100%;` ? – Johan Pranata Jul 11 '16 at 07:21

    I don't think it's valid, you need to specify a unit measure like `px` or `percent`. I think the better solution might be to simply set `width: 100%` – sTx Jul 11 '16 at 07:22

  • Note that canvas drawing area has its own limitations : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6081483/maximum-size-of-a-canvas-element – Kaiido Jul 11 '16 at 12:15
  • A very large canvas (a very large element of any kind) will slow your app. If you're testing the maximum size of a canvas element then the question you should be asking is how to refactor your code to use a reasonably sized canvas. ;-) – markE Jul 11 '16 at 17:19

I guess it depends on browser. Just give it a very big value and then inspect in dev-tools. My chrome gives 37282700 pixels for an element with style="width: 999999999999999999999px;"

Use this in your CSS

tagName{
    width: 100%;
}

this property always set your width of selected tag to maximum-width, works on all screen sizes
