Chrome : make non resizable textareas


By default, Chrome makes my textareas resizable. I wish to control this and either make them only vertically resizable, or not at all.

How can I achieve this ?


Solution

  • Rails generate standard textarea tag, but Safari/Chrome (Webkit) display all (not only Rails :) textareas as resizable.

    Its apperance may be disabled by CSS

    textarea {
        resize: none;
        }
    

    Or, if need only vertical resize:

    textarea {
         resize: vertical;
         }
