positioning content after div transform

I have content in a div that I am trying to scale according to a user's preferences. I am using Louis Remi's transform.js to do this.

However, when I do, it pushes the content either way above the top of the div (cutting off content on scale in) or way far down the container (leaving a lot of white space on scale out).

I was wondering if there was anyway that I can push content so that it would affix itself to the top of the div?

Here is a jsfiddle example. Right now it is at a .50 scale which shows content being in the middle of the screen leaving a lot of space on top of and bottom of div.

HTML

<div id="reportContainer">
    <div id="zoomMe">
        <div id="content1" class="fillerBox">&nbsp;</div>
        <div id="content2" class="fillerBox">&nbsp;</div>
        <div id="content3" class="fillerBox">&nbsp;</div>
        <div id="content4" class="fillerBox">&nbsp;</div>
        <div id="content5" class="fillerBox">&nbsp;</div>
    </div>
</div>

CSS

#reportContainer { margin: 0;padding:15px;overflow-y:scroll;overflow-x:hidden; border:2px solid black;}
.fillerBox { background-color:#ccc;border:1px dashed #000;height:1500px;width:910px;margin:0 auto;margin-bottom:30px; }

JS

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#reportContainer").height($(window).height()-50);
    $("#zoomMe").css('transform', 'scale(.50)' );
});
Solution

  • A nice person on one of my other questions actually answered this, but since someone up-voted my question I guess I will put it here as well.

    There is a great CSS option to append a transformed element. This is what I ended up doing thanks to the help of a fellow stackoverflow'r.

    -webkit-transform-origin: top center;
-moz-transform-origin: top center;
transform-origin: top center;
