jQuery: Scale entire div with its children?

Question

is it somehow possible to use jQuery or Javascript to scale an entire div down to 70%. E.g. I have a horizontal slider with images. On smaller screens the slider with all its images (and their captions) should be like 70% of it's original size. It's really difficult though do shrink everything manually with jquery and remember all the original sizes.

Any idea how I could solve this?
