Facebook Style - textArea height:auto

[dirk newbold]

Hi,

Does anybody know how to achieve an auto increase of the height of a
textArea to fit the input text as the user types, e.g. composing a new
mail or adding a comment in Facebook.

Cheers,

Dirk

IIRC there's a JS trick of writing the contents to an invisible div
and giving the text area the same dimensions as the div. As usual, ask
Lukas ;-)

Thanks for the tip.

Lukas, if you happen to spot this one and have a moment I'd be
greatful for any further tips.

Cheers,

Dirk

A few years ago I implemented something like that for the cmsbox, but
luckily there are dozens of plugins available today that do exactly
that. Ask Google for "javascript textarea autosize" and check this
article on Stack Overflow:
<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7477/autosizing-textarea>.
