expand upwards #60

Awesome plugin!

Is there any way to expand the text area and its containing div upwards instead of downwards? Like for example in slack chat! ( https://slack.com/ )

domchristie commented 9 years ago

The slack textarea expands downwards, but is positioned absolutely at the bottom.

See: http://jsbin.com/suqefucebu/1/edit?html,css,output for a basic implementation of the technique

(or rather it is contained within an element that is absolutely positioned :)

HoplaGeiss commented 9 years ago

Thanks for the answer :) Now I just need to figure out how to have surrounding div which adjust its size depending on this absolute one you are talking about!

You may want to look at the update callback https://github.com/bgrins/ExpandingTextareas#update
