Submit.html text area isn't big enough...

Opened this issue · 2 comments

So when I start typing within about 2 lines it no longer looks black and cool but simply reveals that it's a scrollable text box and you can see the scroll bar and your previous works start to disappear up the page. I can drag the box larger to fix this, but I think we should start by making it bigger until we get the JS set so that it auto expands as it fills.

oh yeah, I noticed that last night too. I think we should def make the
default bigger. The auto-resize is a bit tricky to figure out and didn't
implement that well (you can see the sample
herehttp://css-tricks.com/6841-textarea-tricks/),
so I decided to stick with the scroll bar. It might lose some of the magic
though, I don't know.

I went ahead and made it at least a bit bigger as a default so you don't run
into that problem in two rows. It's now 20 rows.
