Hi, You can check out this link >> http://tuckey.org/textareasizer/
If you add the dynamic height feature lib in your gadget it will also adjust the gadgets height if you call it in that function. (add _IG_AdjustIFrameHeight();) There is also a textarea wrap attribute to control the wrapping of the text (wrap="virtual") There is also an IE only attribute and property for something similar >> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537837(VS.85).aspx This only works with IE but allows other elements to be "editable" like a div tag that auto sizes itself if it does not have a fixed height. <div contenteditable onkeyup="alert(this.innerText)">TESTING</div> Tip! If using the script from the first link, remove the // from the end of the scripts //--> as this use to cause issues with gadgets a while back. I am not sure if it was fixed but to help prevent a possible issue with its use in gadget form I would remove it. Hope that helps :-) Cheers!
