Hello,

Sorry for writing in "bad" English, Flemish is my native language.

I have a multi-line read-only textbox set to "100%,auto" within a container.

It gets values from within a mySQL database where the max length is set to 254 characters.

I thought the textbox would adjust his height accordingly to the amount of text it has to display but this doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

BTW, the website is viewed on a smartphone.

Thanks in advance,
Michel

I think a textarea can only be resized that way by using Javascript - so probably it would be easier to use a container (that's like a div in HTML) and set its innerHTML to the text?
