    resize: none;
    }

Answer 1

If you want only the height to be adjusted along font size, use em unit measure.

width: 150px;
height: 2em;

Documentation about the em unit says

em: 1em is the same as the font-size of the current element.

Answer 2

JSFiddle Demo: https://jsfiddle.net/craigiswayne/qkn8rdxp/20/

 function adjustSize(i){ var o = document.getElementById('inputText'); o.setAttribute("style","height: auto;"); var val = i.value; o.style.fontSize = val + 'px'; var fontSize = o.style.fontSize; o.setAttribute("style","font-size: " + fontSize + "; height: " + o.scrollHeight + "px;"); }

 #inputText { width: 150px; height: auto; border: 1px solid; word-wrap: break-word; }

 <textarea name="" id="inputText">kyb u uuhhhkjh kj</textarea> <input id="input" type="range" min="12" max="72" oninput="adjustSize(this);">

So the solution I chose to set the height of the textarea to it's scrollHeight

scrollHeight is defined by MDN docs as

The scrollHeight value is equal to the minimum height the element would require in order to fit all the content in the viewport without using a vertical scrollbar

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/scrollHeight
