how to make textArea of CActiveForm expandable?

like you can re-size the text area or something… coz its seems like its not re-sizable on my form. thanks

To set the rows and cols of a textArea:

http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/CHtml#textArea-detail

textArea(string $name, $value, array(‘rows’=>15, ‘cols’=>75));

– or –

http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/CHtml#activeTextArea-detail

activeTextArea($model, $attribute, array(‘rows’=>15, ‘cols’=>75))

HTH

thanks… but what i’m looking for is a re-sizable text area when on the site, for example it has a little marker on the lower right corner so that when you drag it, the textArea expands or vice versa

This http://plugins.jquery.com/project/TextAreaResizer may help you. You definitely should use javascript but try with jquery first as it is the default js framework for Yii
