根据字符串长度动态设置textarea高度

Question

I have a piece of code which I can't solve the part this.scrollHeight... . The data.address could be a short or long string. So my intention is to dynamic set the height of the textarea to fully display the text within but I can't figure out how to do that using code below.

$('#myAddress').val(data.address).css('height', this.scrollHeight + this.offsetHeight - this.clientHeight);

Answer 1

Simply set it to scrollHeight.

$("#myAddress").height( $("#myAddress")[0].scrollHeight );
