I am wondering if there is a unit for font size that measures 1% of the width and height of a page? I think it will make it easier for me, and help me do what I am trying to do, without having to use JavaScript (Although, any answer is acceptable, as long as it works). If there isn't a unit like that, how can I manipulate the font to do that? The only other thing I can think of is % but, I don't know if they work.
My problem comes, when I try to resize the page both ways. It works for it's intended purpose, but when you resize the page really small, it wont look good. And I'm a perfectionist and it bothers me when it doesn't work. Here is my code (It is a snipet of my code to be exact. If you want the full code, I will edit it onto here):
Update(0.1): I am trying to make a better answer using javascript. I am not done with the code yet. Here it is:
function myFunction() {
var h11a = document.getElementById("h1_1_a");
var w = window.innerWidth;
var h = window.innerHeight;
window.addEventListener("resize", function() {
var w2 = window.innerWidth;
var h2 = window.innerHeight;
if (w > w2) {
h11a.style.fontSize = "calc(6*(0vh + 1.5vw))";
} else if (h > h2) {
h11a.style.fontSize = "calc(6*(3vh + 0vw))";
}
});
}* {

Demo of calc( n * ( 1vh + 1vw ) ) proposed by Dai.

What I undertand by that is that you want the text to keep the same proportions than the container. I'll dodge the problem by using SVG:
*
{
box-sizing: border-box;
}
body
{
margin:0%;
}
.div_1
{
position:relative;
width:100%;
Height:20%;
background-color:#000000;
border-top:.4vh solid #ff7400;
border-left:.4vh solid #ff7400;
border-right:.4vh solid #ff7400;
border-bottom:.2vh solid #ff7400;
}<html lang="en">

<body>
<div class="div_1">
<svg class="svg" viewbox="0 0 100 20">
<text fill="#ff7400" x="50" y="10" font-size="50%" text-anchor="middle" dominant-baseline="central">Halloween Website</text>
</svg>
</div>
</body>
</html>The drawback is that you lose the semantics of h1.
