Question

Is it possible to get input’s value width and resize the input dynamically so the value will fit?

Here’s an example:

Answer 1

Here is the jQuery code :

$('input').each(function(){
var value = $(this).val();
var size  = value.length;
// playing with the size attribute
//$(this).attr('size',size);

// playing css width
size = size*2; // average width of a char
$(this).css('width',size*3);

})​;
