[pastacode lang=”css” manual=”textarea%20%0A%7B%0A%20%20%20%20max-width%3A%2F*desired%20fixed%20width*%2F%20px%3B%0A%20%20%20%20min-width%3A%2F*desired%20fixed%20width*%2F%20px%3B%0A%20%20%20%20min-height%3A%2F*desired%20fixed%20height*%2F%20px%3B%0A%20%20%20%20max-height%3A%2F*desired%20fixed%20height*%2F%20px%3B%0A%7D%0A” message=”css code” highlight=”” provider=”manual”/]

  • Html :
[pastacode lang=”markup” manual=”%3Ctextarea%20name%3D%22textinput%22%20%20%20%20draggable%3D%22false%22%3E%3C%2Ftextarea%3E%0A%0ADefault%20value%20is%C2%A0true%C2%A0for%20draggable%20attribute.%20%0A” message=”html code” highlight=”” provider=”manual”/] [ad type=”banner”]

  • CSS property:
[pastacode lang=”css” manual=”resize%3A%20none%3B%0A” message=”” highlight=”” provider=”manual”/]
  • you can use CSS inline style property :
[pastacode lang=”markup” manual=”%3Ctextarea%20style%3D%22resize%3A%20none%3B%22%3E%3C%2Ftextarea%3E%0A” message=”html code” highlight=”” provider=”manual”/]
  • or in between <style>…</style> element tags
[pastacode lang=”css” manual=”textarea%20%0A%7B%0A%20%20%20%20resize%3A%20none%3B%0A%7D%0A” message=”css code” highlight=”” provider=”manual”/]

  • Try with jQuery also
[pastacode lang=”javascript” manual=”%24(‘textarea’).css(%22resize%22%2C%20%22none%22)%3B%0A” message=”javascript code” highlight=”” provider=”manual”/]

  • To resize your textarea’s only horizontal or vertical,
[pastacode lang=”css” manual=”textarea%20%7B%20resize%3A%20vertical%3B%20%7D%0A%0Atextarea%20%7B%20resize%3A%20horizontal%3B%20%7D%0A” message=”css code” highlight=”” provider=”manual”/]
  • Finally, resize: both enables the resize grabber.

  • Use the CSS3 resize(http://www.tutorialrepublic.com/css-reference/css3-resize-property.php) property to remove or turn-off the default horizontal and vertical resizable property of the HTML <textarea>(http://www.tutorialrepublic.com/html-reference/html-textarea-tag.php) element.
  • This property will also hide the resizing at the bottom-right corner of the textarea.
[pastacode lang=”css” manual=”textarea%20%0A%7B%0A%20%20%20%20resize%3A%20none%3B%0A%7D%0A” message=”css code” highlight=”” provider=”manual”/] [ad type=”banner”]

  • Specify that a <div> element should be resizable by the user:
[pastacode lang=”css” manual=”div%20%0A%7B%0A%20%20%20%20resize%3A%20both%3B%0A%20%20%20%20overflow%3A%20auto%3B%0A%7D%0A” message=”css code” highlight=”” provider=”manual”/]

  • you can resize by restrictions i.e. none, both, horizontal, vertical, and inherit.
  • For below code, user can resize vertically, but the width is fixed.
[pastacode lang=”css” manual=”textarea%20%0A%7B%0Aresize%3A%20vertical%3B%0A%7D%0A” message=”css code” highlight=”” provider=”manual”/]
