JQuery TextArea AutoGrow Plugin

I'm trying to find the best textarea autogrow plugin. I nee开发者_如何学Cd one which resizes the textarea even when I paste into it. Any idea?

Elastic is a very good one, and it handles CTRL + V cases too.

You can visit the website and try out a demo.

Why not use it?? http://plugins.jquery.com/project/autogrowtextarea

Or another updated version of this plugin here: https://github.com/ro31337/jquery.ns-autogrow

This is the one I ended up using. Working great so far!

The JQuery Elastic plugin is slow and didn't work for me in IE8.

I used the following method, in jQuery.

setInterval(function(){
      $(name_textarea).css('height', $(name_textarea)[0].scrollHeight+2+'px')
},100);

Try it, you could possibly change the scrollHeight to obtain the best results.

You can try Advanced Textarea. Download from http://www.jscripts.info

• Auto-Height Textarea
• Returns Plain Text and HTML Content
• Automatic URL and Email recognition
• HTML Tags Filter

i made another one plugin to do this, check it here: https://github.com/AndrewDryga/jQuery.Textarea.Autoresize

"I need one which resizes the textarea even when I paste into it"

this method also listen for copy/paste events: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5346855/4481831

I think on modern browsers those events can be replaced with "input" event, but on older browser this method will not work.

Auto-expand of text area can be accomplished without plugin. For example:

 var change_textarea = function() {
   jQuery('#your_textarea').on( 'change keyup keydown paste cut', 'textarea', 
   function(){
     jQuery(this).height(0).height(this.scrollHeight);
   }).find( 'textarea' ).change();  
 }  

And do not forget to call the function on document ready:

  jQuery(document).ready(function() {
     change_textarea();
  )};

Here is another plug, that also support horizontal growing of text areas:

https://github.com/dgbeck/jquery.autogrow-textarea

It is also based on the "mirror" approach but falls back to simple math in IE 8 and lower, since the mirror approach leads to textareas that grow too quickly in IE <= 8.
