Firefox Add-on to Resize & Move Form Elements

Working with online forms for entering data on the Internet can be a chore. Every interface has its quirks, some worst than most. And everyone of them has at least one or two input/textarea boxes that only show you one or two lines from a four line sentence that you are trying to edit.

Before Firefox 3 came out, there was a great little add-on that would resize form elements on the page. Firefox was updated and so did I,but the add-on did not. I missed that little thing.

Just installed a new theme and was updating a slew of post excerpt boxes, so I just had to go see if there was an alternative out there. And there was. It is called the Text Area Resizer & Mover oddly enough. It is well worth the download. Especially if you work with quite a few forms on a daily basis. You can even move the box to a different position on the screen.


Here is a WordPress tip for enlarging the main content textarea box for the posts and pages. There is an in the backend under Settings>Writing were you can set that to how many lines tall. I have mine set to 20 and it gives me a pretty tall box to work in.
