Does anyone know of a way to remove the resizing option in the bottom right corner of a multi line text field on a form?

A visitor can resize it so that it stretches outside the borders of the form, or even page, so while I don’t think it’s a major issue, I can’t see any reason why having that there should be compulsory.

Hi there, 

You can easily hide the resize option with a bit of CSS:

&nbsp; <br />textarea {<br />&nbsp; &nbsp;resize: none;<br />}<br />

However, consider the impact of using multi-line text fields in your forms.
Open-ended questions/fields might be a conversion killer in some cases. 

Best,
Hristian
