CSS Textarea that expands as you type text [duplicate]

by

I know this is a little bit late, but I have to say there is a way to use <div> with contenteditable attribute to simulate desired behaviour.

.textareaElement {
  width: 300px;
  min-height: 17px;
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
  max-height: 150px;
  overflow-x: hidden;
  overflow-y: auto;
}
<div class="textareaElement" contenteditable></div>

Just set your min and max height, with proper overflow values, and you have fully functional pure CSS expanding textbox, that is also well supported.
