Zoom your textarea!

19 May 2005 by Frank Meeuwsen

[[image:zoomtextarea.jpg::left:0]]Taken shamelessly from the “excellent Lifehacker-blog”:http://www.lifehacker.com/software/productivity/download-of-the-day-zoom-textarea-firefox-user-script-104004.php: The Zoom Textarea user script lets you enlarge textareas on any web page for more glorious room to type – so handy for writing forum posts, weblog comments or posts, and web-based email. The Zoom Textarea user script requires the Firefox Greasemonkey extension (at least version 0.3.) If you’re a Firefox user without Greasemonkey, here’s how to install the script: # In Firefox, click “Install Greasemonkey” from “here”:http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/. Be sure to allow “greasemonkey.mozdev.org” to install software in your browser. # Restart Firefox. # Right click on this link: “zoomtextarea.user.js”:http://diveintogreasemonkey.org/download/zoomtextarea.user.js. # Click “Install User Script.” Press OK. # Refresh any page with a text area on it, and you will see a zoom in and zoom out button above it. If you spend a good part of your day typing into web pages, Zoom Textarea will quickly become indispensable for your writable web. “Case study: Zoom Textarea”:http://diveintogreasemonkey.org/casestudy/zoomtextarea.html [Dive into Greasemonkey] Update: It also makes the font in the textarea itself bigger, so the effect is not that great….hmmm..

    Try this one–it lets you resize textareas as if they were windows (drag the corner or side). Works great – http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php?showtopic=2796
