Hi, I have a text area component in a perspective view. I want the height of the text area to increase rather than introducing a scroll bar when text overflow happens. I tried css but I was not able to achieve this. So, I thought of using the java script to achieve this. I know every component can have a domId meta property. Is it possible to somehow use this domId and write java script for the component to handle the situation that i described above? If not, how can I achieve this with only css? Appreciate any help in this regard. Thanks, Ajay ---

I know the urge of making things automatic and dynamic and whatever. I know it's strong and hard to resist. But get up, walk for a bit, go enjoy the sun. Then, when you come back, enable the `resize` property and let your users deal with it. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/e/7ec2473da006a1be1f35c45670a52dd65fef31e1.png)
