Textarea auto-height / zoom

Luis CabralJan 24 2008 — edited Feb 4 2008
Hi there

I searched the forum for "autoheight", "auto-height" and "auto AND height" and got no results for what I am looking for...

In my application there is a number of textareas and the user would like to have some extra functionality to enter data in them. The first idea is to have a "zoom" button; when you click on it, the contents of the textare will be displayed in a bigger floating window, where the user can see and edit the whole text. Any suggestions to implement this? I dont want to use a separate pop-up window, it had to be something in the page itself.

Another option is to use the "textarea (auto-height)" control, but it seems it is not working for me. How to use it and what is its expected behavior? Does it resize itself dynamically (as the user enters/deletes text)?

Thanks
Luis
