Google Chrome and Safari browsers have an amazing  feature that lets users resize the textarea element on a webpage according to their convenience.  Although this might be good for the user, but from the point of view of a web designer, this might be a little disturbing as resizing the textarea element may actually spoil the design of the webpage on the user’s side. So, in this article we will tell you how to disable the textarea resizing feature for your webpage in Google Chrome and Safari.

You can disable the textarea element in two ways - via an external CSS file or using the style  property in your textarea element definition.

Disabling TEXTAREA using style property

Just insert the following styles property definition in your code wherever you have defined a TEXTAREA element:

<textarea style="resize: none;"></textarea>
