Help with resizing textArea component : Text getting streched

1

Hey guys,

I am currently working on a client’s website. I need some help though.

Problem:
I have a textarea component. This textarea will have text loaded dynamically, so bascially I dont know what the maxVPosition is until runtime. I tried to resize the textarea so that the text doesn’t have to scroll, but this makes the font strech too… making it rather large. I have tried the following to counter this…


this._height += this.maxVPosition * (Number(font_size) + 10);
this.vScrollPolicy = "off";
font_size2 = font_size * (init_height/this._height);
this.setStyle("fontSize",Math.round(font_size2));

this however does not work as the font still stays huge.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks
Aditya

could also try to use the textfield.autoSize feature… :wink:
works fine
