Question

I have a textarea that I want to enable vertical scrolling. When I exceed the height of the textarea, it increases in size. The scroll bar does not appear. I want that a vertical scroll bar appears and the users are not able to resize the text area as well.

I searched online and tried solutions posted, but none seem to work.

Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/hozefa/8fv6e/

CSS:

#imageURLId{
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: normal;
resize: none;
overflow-y: scroll;
}

HTML:

<label for="aboutDescription" id="aboutHeading">About</label>
<textarea rows="15" cols="50" id="aboutDescription"
    style="resize: none;"></textarea>
<a  id="imageURLId" target="_blank">Go to
    HomePage</a>

Answer 1

You can try adding:

#aboutDescription
{
    height: 100px;
    max-height: 100px;  
}
