The modal plugin provides auto grow function for textareas.

Parameter "options" is an optional JavaScript object. Valid properties are

  • minHeight: the initial height of the textarea. Default is "not set" meaning the line height of text

From OpenWGA 7.5.3 on "options" may also be a String and is interpreted as "command" in this case. Currently the only valid command is 

  • "update" 

to recalculate the textarea size:

$("#myTa").autogrow("update")
