Can you log this as an issue on Git?

I´ll do that immediatly.

Does anybody know if there is a workaround for this?
Using .toggle() twice doesn't trigger the autogrow code, but I haven't looked into it yet.

fix from here https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/pull/872/files

The following seems to activate the textarea auto-grow script:

$(".ui-page-active textarea").keyup();

Help this helps!

Hello,

Hi vdb.jimmy,

sorry, I haven't looked into this for a while. So I certainly can't provide any advice about this in 1.0.

Hello

I know this topic is over a year old, but since it is one of the first google search results for "jquery mobile textarea autogrow" I guess its ok to post an answer:

The autogrow-functionality is called whenever the textarea receives a "keyup"-event. Textareas will only grow, but not shrink. To manually let the textarea grow simply fire the keyup-event on that textarea. example:

1. $('#textarea').trigger('keyup');

That's all you have to do.
