TextArea width

[Liming]

Hi,

I'm using a third party libray and I can drag a diveand resize it. The
issue is, I have a textarea inside of it and I need to resize the width
of textarea and height of textarea along with it.

I know what the width and height of the div will be when it finishes
dragging (in "px"), so how do I convert the width and height in "px" to
the cols and rows of a textarea?

thanks!

You don't. You specify the new sizes of the textarea in pixels, in the exact
same way as you do with the div element. It is perhaps possible to calculate
the number of pixls that a col or row takes up by measuring, adding a row
and measuring again, but setting RefToTextarea.style.width = '400px'
directly allows setting the dimensions in much finer detail.

ah, thanks lvo. I dont' know why I didn't think about it. Just got
stuck in that idea and never thought about setting via style property.
THANKS. it works perfectly now.
