I'm working on a project where I have data in divs that can be various sizes. When a user clicks on one of the divs, it needs to turn into an editable textarea. The width is constant, but I'd like the height to start as the height of the original div and then grow to a max height before adding a scrollbar. Is that possible?

In addition to adding what Pavel said, you can add the box-shadow property for the different browser

My code for the textarea: <textarea cols="30" rows="4" [(ngModel)] = "str"></textarea> And inside my component: str: string; //some logic on str But I don't get any value in str inside my component.

This is my code: function textCounter(field, countfield, maxlimit) { if (field.value.length > maxlimit) { field.value = field.value.substring(0, 160); field.blur(); field.focus(); return false; } else { countfield.value = maxlimit - field.value.length; } } How can I display how many characters are remaining from a certain text box with a limit of 160?
