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 ?
Set max-width to make them only vertically resizable, or set max-height and max-width to stop all resizing.
max-width
max-height
However, be aware that breaking user expectations about how their browser treats controls tends to create a lot of user frustration.
you can set the column and rows like
<%= text_area :object, :attribute, :rows => '10', :cols => '100' %> #=> <textarea cols="100" rows="10" id="object_attribute" name="object[attribute]"> # #{@object.attribute} # </textarea>
or specify the size like
<%= text_area :object, :attribute, :size => "10x100" %> #=> <textarea cols="10" rows="100" id="object_attribute" name="object[attribute]"> # #{@object.attribute} # </textarea>
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; }
