Hello
Some days ago I encountered that Firefox 4 and Google Chrome implement
the resize property:
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-ui/#resizing
They default the textarea element to resize:both, which is IMO a nice
usability boost. Now there are websites such as Facebook that use
scripting to dynamically adapt the height of textareas to the amount of
text contained, which works more or less well.
It would be nice to tell textareas and contenteditable elements to grow
with their contents. Maybe this could be achieved with no spec change, like:
textarea, *[contenteditable] {
height:auto;
min-height:5em;
}
Is something like that possible with CSS3? If not, do you think the
above approach is sensible and should be suggested to browser vendors,
or would this rather be a case to propose a new property such as
"autoresize" to the CSS Working Group?
Thanks for some opinions.
