Expand: a jQuery Plugin

A really simple plugin to expand boxes…

This is a jQuery plugin which can be hooked in to any element on a page, but I find most use for it on textareas, where it gives the user the option of increasing the area they can write in, thus hopefully improving the experience.

That’s about it for this plugin, short and sweet…

Download…

Run Code…

This page makes use of Run Code, a simple jquery plugin which converts your code examples to live behaviour.

Examples…

$('#textarea-2').expand({

  'text' : 'Expand me!',
  'height' : 300,
  'class' : 'expand-link-different'
});
