HTML : doubt in textarea tag

when a normal HTML <textarea> tag is used, the size of the <textarea> can be altered by the user by clicking on the bottom right corner and dragging it. I n开发者_如何学编程otice this in many places including textareas in SO. How can I disable this resizing? Is there any way to do that?

That's a feature provided by the browser rendering engine, not HTML itself. You can override it with CSS:

<textarea style="resize: none;">some text here</textarea>

(For Chrome) you can add some CSS to do this, as shown below:

textarea {
resize: none;
}

Use the resize attribute on the textarea;

textarea {
    resize: none;
}

You can also specify horizontal|vertical|both ad the value.
