 * Hello,
 * Is it possible to make the input area bigger after double clicking an editable
   area? I use this plugin to edit loads of stuff on my site but would like to be
   able to resize it so I can see more of the content I’m editing.
 * If not, is it possible to make the default input area bigger through css?
 * Thanks

 * Previous version of the plugin had an auto-resize mechanism, but it didn’t work
   out so well.
 * If you’re using the Chrome browser or Firefox 4, you can automatically resize
   any textarea.

 * Hi Scribu,
 * I have the latest versions of both browsers but can’t see any way to resize the
   input areas in either :S

 * Notice the three subtle little dots (that’s in Firefox).

 * Yes I see those on all textareas using firefox, but not when I edit using the
   front end editor. I think maybe one of my addons is disabling it.
 * Thanks anyway, great plugin

 * Ah, I think you’re refering to the rich editor, which isn’t a textarea at all:
   it’s an iframe. So yeah, it doesn’t have a resize handle.
 * Download the [development version](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/form-field.zip)(
   1.9.4-alpha) and add the following code to your functions.php theme file:
 *     ```
       function fee_cleditor_height() {
       	return 500;  // number of pixels
       }
       add_filter( 'fee_cleditor_height', 'fee_cleditor_height' );
       ```
