asked on Resizing a textbox when populated with text - asp.net vb
I am trying to resize textboxes on an asp.net page. I have successfully implemented a script to expand the textboxes as a user types (see below), but when the form is populated with text from a database, the size of the textbox is not expanded. Does anyone have an idea on how I might be able to remedy this? Thanks - Joe
Expand textbox as user types:
Expand textbox as user types:
<head>
<script>
function AutoExpand(txtbox) {
txtbox.style.height = "1px";
txtbox.style.height = (25 + txtbox.scrollHeight) + "px";
}
</script>
</head>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtEvent" runat="server" CssClass="FormsTextbox" Rows="3" TextMode="MultiLine" style="overflow:hidden" onkeydown="AutoExpand(this)" ></asp:TextBox>

Although the reply to add the javascript to my page load would have worked, the work to be done on the script itself to make it work is not something I can do. Making a subroutine in vb to handle to work seemed easier.
