I recently finished the Data Visualization curriculum and started the first project, uncovering the dimensions of d3 and Ajax. As usual i aimed past my abilities and decided it would be a good idea to make the size of my svg element scaleable, intertwining it with CSS media rules etc. I tried so hard, attaching the svg to container div, so i can set the div size, since i couldnt scale the svg itself, nore i could target it with regular js document selectors like getElementById and i felt so close, but something always misfunctioned. In the end i came to that simple article on scaling svg, which put it short and simple that you cant resize svg by ordinary means and it has its own methods for that- using viewBox and preserveAspectRatio. In the end i dont regret the experience, altho i spent some time, i learned some stuff and practiced my skills, but was it really necessary to come to the core of the problem so hard 
Please dont judge my terminology, im sure there is some inaccuracy with the programming slang, but hope it makes sense.
PS: i wont put the svg resize mechanics into use for now, as i feel i need to focus on more basic issues with the d3 technology.
