Is there a way to get a textarea to stretch to fit its content without using PHP or JavaScript?
I am filling a textarea with content for the user to edit.
Is it possible to make it stretch to fit content with CSS (like overflow:show for a div)?
Solution 1:
one line only
<textarea name="text" oninput='this.style.height = "";this.style.height = this.scrollHeight + "px"'></textarea>Solution 2:
Not really. This is normally done using javascript.
there is a good discussion of ways of doing this here...
