[jQuery] Textarea autogrow plugin: IE6, IE7, IE8 and Opera problems
Hi everybody,
i am having trouble getting the autogrow.js plugin to work properly in
all versions of IE (of course!) and Opera.
plugin link: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/autogrow
Opera just seems to make the textareas ridiculously tall for some
reason, but IE actually throws up a scripting area when .autogrow();
is activated. it brings up an error in jquery.js line 12 saying
"invalid argument". i am thinking this could be to do with the fact
this plugin was developed for jquery 1.2 and that IE doesnt play well
when using jQuery 1.3 and autogrow. does anybody have any suggestions?
i'm more concerned about IE than opera.
another thing to note is that IE does actually activate the first
textarea it finds successfully, but doesnt listen to the min-height
statement, which IE7 and 8 actually DO understand and should adhere to
under normal circumstances. however, my second textarea on the page
isnt "autogrown" at all and just behaves like a normal textarea.
has anybody encountered this and found any solutions, or an
alternative autogrow plugin? i tried 2 other jquery plugins based on
autogrow that provided various patches and fixes to it (e.g.
http://plugins.jquery.com/project/autogrowupdate) but neither of them
fixed this issue.
