In order to make the textarea resizable, the plugin wraps it in a div which
takes on it's computed outerWidth and outerHeight (in pixels), regardless of
what is set as width and height (in your case a percentage). A workaround is
to add .parent().width('100%') after the .resizable() call. This would only
let you leave the width as a percentage and not have the width be
user-resizable (you would change handles to 's' instead of 's,e').
Resizables doesn't currently support percentage resizing, but you can
request the feature by entering a feature/enhancement ticket here:http://ui.jquery.com/bugs/newticket (note: requires registration) Also, in the future, should you have any other questions, there is a dedicated jQuery UI mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-ui/ - Richard On Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 5:13 AM, nos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > hi > I applied the resize option to resize a textarea's height while the > width should be dynamic (100%), so if the user resizes the browser > window the textarea changes it's size. > > The default behavior seams to be that the width changes to a fixed > value.
