resize textarea on Safari

M

Mark Roseman

The following script is intended to grow the textarea
when the user first gives it focus. This seems to work
on most browsers, but does nothing on Safari on the Mac
(the rows and columns are updated internally, but the
textarea does not expand onscreen).

Any ideas why it doesn't work, or if there are any
workarounds?

Thanks
Mark

<html>
<body>
<script>
function expandpost(t) {
t.rows = 6;
t.cols = 60;
}
</script>
<textarea name=comments cols=40 rows=2
onFocus="javascript:expandpost(this);">blah
</textarea>
</body>
</html>
