It might be easier to override the TextInput or TextArea and set the autoSize of the UITextField to true, and then having the TextArea determine the height of itself by the height of the UITextField. This UITextField should also throw a resize event so you'll only have to detect when the size changes.
Actually I'm suprised this doesn't already exist as a component. check out http://flexbox.mrinalwadhwa.com/ and see if it's there. Dan Freiman nondocs <http://nondocs.blogspot.com> On 5/3/07, Manish Jethani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

You could optimise your resize function so as not to actually resize unless required.
