If the user can resize the textarea they can disrupt the layout of the site which is what will happen when they resize the textarea with items floated next to it. </p> samchyung on "Can't resize text box" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/cant-resize-text-box#post-32806 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 17:46:12 +0000 samchyung 32806@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I see. For some reason, I thought my forms had that ability until recently. Is there a reason why Gravity forms does not allow it? </p> Carl Hancock on "Can't resize text box" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/cant-resize-text-box#post-32803 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 17:41:02 +0000 Carl Hancock 32803@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The functionality you are talking about only appears in certain browsers such as Safari. However Gravity Forms sets the resize CSS option to none; because it sets the size. This is why if you disable CSS it appears. If you want it to appear you'd have to write custom CSS and add it to your theme stylesheet to set the resize CSS option to the text area and override the Gravity Forms css. So you'd have to do it as a CSS customization. </p> samchyung on "Can't resize text box" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/cant-resize-text-box#post-32799 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 17:06:26 +0000 samchyung 32799@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>The text box field used to have a thing on the bottom right corner that would allow you to stretch the field. It no longer appears in any of my forms. I notice that when I turn off CSS, it comes back but then I lose all the formatting. Can someone help?</p> <p>example: <a href="http://www.samchyung.com/contact/" rel="nofollow">http://www.samchyung.com/contact/</a> </p>
