Chrome : make non resizable textareas
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; }
Set max-width to make them only vertically resizable, or set max-height and max-width to stop all resizing.
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>
