Hello everyone,

Some fields in my client forms are multi line which has unpredictable data line.

I try to set field to be readonly field.

such as:

$(document).ready(function(){

$('.Multi textarea').text('1 test1'+'\n'+'2 test2'+'\n'+'3 test3'+'\n'+'4 test4');
$('.Multi textarea').attr('readonly', 'readonly');

});

I set 4 lines sample data to this field as you can see.

But I found that data was show only 3 lines because of setting height field to 3 lines.

(Actually I don't know how many data should be fill in this field.)

So How could we set a multi-line field to be readonly and show all unpredictable data in that field?

Thank you for any help.

You can add following code below your original code to archive this:

    $('textarea[readonly]').each(function () {
        if (this.scrollHeight != $(this).height())
            $(this).height(this.scrollHeight);
    })
