Hey,
was wondering how to have a textarea auto resize when the browser window is manually resized or restored down or restored up and maxed...

I guess something that fires up ondrag which would be in the body tag like so...:

EX:

<body ondrag="autoResize()">

...Would be the idea way to call the script. Anyone know a way to allow me to keep 2 px away from the right and left side of the window chrome and also allow for the textarea to resize when the user resizes the window?

all help much appreciated,

co

Better done with CSS I would've thought.

Code: 
<div style="padding: 0px 2px;">
<textarea style="width: 100%;">

</textarea>
</div>

That assumes you've no body margin/padding of course.
