How does Stackoverflow implement the resizable textarea? Is that something they rolled themselves or is it a publicly available component that I can easily attach to textareas on my sites? I found this question and it doesn't quite do what I want. autosizing-textarea That talks more about automatically resizing textareas whereas I want the little grab-area that you can drag up and down. Shog9 StackOverflow uses a jQuery plugin to accomplish this: TextAreaResizer . It's easy enough to verify this - just pull the JS files from the site.

I am trying to add an emoji to my chat program when my client types :) I am trying to add this in the FXML controller. I have captured when the user types :) using the following code snippet : if(chat.contains(":)")) { ... } My chat is printed into a textarea named taChat taChat.appendText(chat + '\n'); Any help is appreciated! A better approach would be to use TextFlow instead of using TextArea. Advantages : Individual Text are treated as children to the TextFlow. They can be added and accessed individually. ImageView can be added directly to the TextFlow as a child. A simple chat window with

I'm working on an Android app (2.3.3) using Cordova (1.9.0), html5, javascript. It's a language training tool so when users type their answers in textareas or inputfields, I don't want them to see suggestions. I've tried autocomplete="off" in the textarea and input tag as well as in the form tag, but neither work. Does anyone know how to turn these suggestions off? my test-html looks like this: <div><b>With form:</b> <form autocomplete="off"> <p>Wie <input size="5" value="b" autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off" autocomplete="off" spellcheck="false"> jij?</p> <textarea spellcheck="false"

I have <textarea> where user can type in his message to the world! Below, there are upload buttons... I would love to add link to uploaded file (don't worry, I have it); right next to the text that he was typing in. Like, he types in 'Hello, world!', then uploads the file (its done via AJAX), and the link to that file is added in next line to the content of <textarea> . Attention! Is it possible to keep cursor (place where he left to type) in the same place? All that may be done with jQuery... Any ideas? I know that there are method 'append()', but it won't be for this situation, right? Try

I'm creating a browser based QC/data entry app that will let people edit OCRed files, which naturally have tons of errors. Chunks of data are put in textareas so they can be checked, but the red underlines only appear when the user manually puts the cursor in a misspelled word. Is there a way to force WebKit to add the little red spell check underlines to textareas? Essentially you need to use the selection api to move the insertion point over each word to get Safari to highlight it. Here's an example to scan over the first thousand words... textarea = document.getElementById("mytextarea");

I was wondering if anybody knows how I would go about detecting when the scrollbar appears inside a textarea . I am currently using mootools for my JavaScript and I am having issues getting it to detect a scrollbar. Tommaso Taruffi function has_scrollbar(elem_id) { const elem = document.getElementById(elem_id); if (elem.clientHeight < elem.scrollHeight) alert("The element has a vertical scrollbar!"); else alert("The element doesn't have a vertical scrollbar."); } See this jsFiddle http://jsfiddle.net/qKNXH/ Capt Otis Tommaso's solution works perfectly, even with a text area.
