A different approach to elastic textareas

Read Original

This technical article explores an alternative JavaScript implementation for elastic textareas that automatically adjust their height. Unlike traditional methods using hidden divs for measurement, this experimental approach checks textarea scrollability and dynamically modifies the 'rows' attribute. The author discusses browser compatibility issues and potential advantages including CSS-agnostic behavior, no library dependencies, and minimal file size.
