When user resizes a textarea the WIDTH and HEIGHT get set in the STYLE attribute

Hi Acuitus ,

I believe the behavior you are describing is a feature of your browser, not SugarCRM. From what I've read, you can modify the following CSS attributed to help guide this behavior by default:

textarea {
    resize: none;
    // or something like
    max-width: 50%;
    max-height: 50%;
}

Thanks. I want to allow the user to resize the textarea, in case there is more text entered than can be shown in the default textarea size.

I took this as inspiration: https://stephanwagner.me/auto-resizing-textarea

and

stackoverflow.com/.../resize-event-for-textarea

I have a custom textarea controller already (custom/clients/base/fields/textarea/textarea.js)

In _render() I now set the CSS HEIGHT to fit the content (bonus functionality I was not planning!)

Plus I also set the CSS HEIGHT of the div.record-cell containers to match.This "pushes" the fields to the right so the textarea doesn't sit over or under those fields.

The record view is for a "table" of data, with multiple "rows" each of multiple "columns".

It made sense that when the user changes the width of a cell in "column" 1, ALL the containing divs for cells in that "column" change to the same width. This way, the "columns" stay lined up.

Lukily, the fields were named r0_c0_c to r44_c9_c, so it wasn't too tricky to find the data for the matching "columns"
