[jQuery] UI/Resizable

in Using jQuery • 14 years ago

hi
I applied the resize option to resize a textarea's height while the
width should be dynamic (100%), so if the user resizes the browser
window the textarea changes it's size.
The default behavior seams to be that the width changes to a fixed
value. Anyone an idea how to change that?
thanks for any hints
$(".resize-y").resizable({
handles: "s,e",
preventDefault: true
});

In order to make the textarea resizable, the plugin wraps it in a div which takes on it's computed outerWidth and outerHeight (in pixels), regardless of what is set as width and height (in your case a percentage). A workaround is to add .parent().width('100%') after the .resizable() call. This would only let you leave the width as a percentage and not have the width be user-resizable (you would change handles to 's' instead of 's,e'). Resizables doesn't currently support percentage resizing, but you can request the feature by entering a feature/enhancement ticket here:

Also, in the future, should you have any other questions, there is a dedicated jQuery UI mailing list:
