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!
