Automatically increase height of a textbox inside a Datalist

Marius Vasile

I sometimes have a large amount of data in a textbox, 20-30 lines, other times only few lines. The textbox is inside a Datalist and I want to make it change its height based on the amount of data it contains. The solutions found were not helping at all

Well, is not working properly. Yes for the first record it does but for the second it only shows 2 lines :(

I found a solution by

$(document).ready(function () {
    var textAreaAdjust = function (control) {
       $(control).height(1);
       $(control).height($(control).prop('scrollHeight'));
    }

    textAreaAdjust($('#txtDescriere'));
};

which seems to work
