How to get the height in textarea in javascript

Asked 1 years ago, Updated 1 years ago, 89 views

Textarea enables scrolling, so if the number of characters is large, the height of the textarea itself and the height of the contents will change.

Is there a way to get the height of this content?

You can retrieve it at Element.scrollHeight.

var area= document.getElementById('area');
var contentHeight=area.scrollHeight;

alert('The content height is'+contentHeight+'px.');

if(confirm('Do you want to adjust the element height?)')) {
  area.style.height=contentHeight+'px';
}
<textareaid="area" style="width:250px;height:100px;overflow-y:scroll;">
