multiline textbox height

[jizviz]

I would like to be able to allow a multiline textbox's height to increase automatically based on the amount of text entered. Please HELP!
Thanks!

TextHeight might be a starting point. How far have you got with this problem?

JUST STARTED. I CAN SET THE HEIGHT OF THE TEXTBOX PROGRAMATICALLY BY ASSIGNING THE VALUE BUT I WANT IT TO INCREASE AUTOMATICALLY AS THE AMOUNT OF TEXT INCREASES

Fine. So now look at TextHeight as mentioned in my first post and see where that gets you. Note that it isn't a perfect solution as it needs some more work, but let's see how far you get before you get stuck again, and then we can help further

Jizviz - just keep in mind that you have to allow for different widths of letters and also if you are going to allow users to start a new line or lines when they want.
