Auto-size dynamic text to fill fixed size container

I didn't find any of the previous solutions to be adequate enough due to bad performance, so I made my own that uses simple math instead of looping. Should work fine in all browsers as well.

According to this performance test case it is much faster then the other solutions found here.

(function($) {
    $.fn.textfill = function(maxFontSize) {
        maxFontSize = parseInt(maxFontSize, 10);
        return this.each(function(){
            var ourText = $("span", this),
                parent = ourText.parent(),
                maxHeight = parent.height(),
                maxWidth = parent.width(),
                fontSize = parseInt(ourText.css("fontSize"), 10),
                multiplier = maxWidth/ourText.width(),
                newSize = (fontSize*(multiplier-0.1));
            ourText.css(
                "fontSize", 
                (maxFontSize > 0 && newSize > maxFontSize) ? 
                    maxFontSize : 
                    newSize
            );
        });
    };
})(jQuery);

If you want to contribute I've added this to Gist.

Thanks Attack. I wanted to use jQuery.

You pointed me in the right direction, and this is what I ended up with:

Here is a link to the plugin: https://plugins.jquery.com/textfill/
And a link to the source: http://jquery-textfill.github.io/

;(function($) {
    $.fn.textfill = function(options) {
        var fontSize = options.maxFontPixels;
        var ourText = $('span:visible:first', this);
        var maxHeight = $(this).height();
        var maxWidth = $(this).width();
        var textHeight;
        var textWidth;
        do {
            ourText.css('font-size', fontSize);
            textHeight = ourText.height();
            textWidth = ourText.width();
            fontSize = fontSize - 1;
        } while ((textHeight > maxHeight || textWidth > maxWidth) && fontSize > 3);
        return this;
    }
})(jQuery);

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.jtextfill').textfill({ maxFontPixels: 36 });
});

and my html is like this

<div class='jtextfill' style='width:100px;height:50px;'>
    <span>My Text Here</span>
</div>

This is my first jquery plugin, so it's probably not as good as it should be. Pointers are certainly welcome.
