If you have control over the textarea creation, then simply call .elastic() on the textarea once it is created:

// In whatever AJAX callback creates the textarea...
var newTextarea = $('<textarea></textarea>');

// Append the element to the DOM wherever it belongs...
parentElement.append(newTextarea);

// Add elastic behavior.
newTextarea.elastic();
