Topic: Modal to forms with autogrowth textarea

Pierre M pro asked 7 years ago


Hi,

When i put a form in a modal in which there are textareas with autogrowth ( with the js script answered in a previous topic, or the script autosize.js), the modal got a really weird comportment : it adds a lot of space in the textarea but when i remove the autogrowth function, everything goes well.

Do you have any solution for this problem ?

Thank you very much.

Pierre

Hi,

try this code:

HTML:

<!--Material textarea-->
<div class="md-form mt-5">
  <textarea type="text" id="form7" class="md-textarea pt-1 py-0 pb-0"></textarea>
  <label for="form7" class="pb-2">Material textarea</label>
</div>

CSS:

textarea.md-textarea {
  min-height: 6rem;
}

JS:

jQuery.fn.extend({
  autoHeight: function () {
    function autoHeight_(element) {
      return jQuery(element)
        .css({ 'height': 'auto', 'overflow-y': 'hidden' })
        .height(element.scrollHeight);
    }
    return this.each(function() {
      autoHeight_(this).on('input', function() {
        autoHeight_(this);
      });
    });
  }
});

$('textarea').autoHeight();

Best,

Marta

Hi, I send you the mail, but i will post it here too in case other people got the same problem. Here's the code of the modal in which i send the user to a servlet that will redirect to a completed form:
<!--Modal: modalVM-->
<div class="modal fade" id="modalVM<%=demandeDePoste.getIdDemandePoste()%>" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
        <div class="modal-dialog modal-fluid" role="document">
            <!--Content-->
            <div class="modal-content">
                <!--Body-->
                <div class="modal-body mb-0 p-0">
                    <div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9 z-depth-1-half">
<%
if(demandeDePoste.getTypeDePoste().getAbreviation().equals("EC")){
%>
<iframe class="embed-responsive-item" src="voirDemandeDePosteECFlag3?inputID=<%=demandeDePoste.getIdDemandePoste()%>" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<%
} else {
%>
                       <iframe class="embed-responsive-item" src="voirDemandeDePosteENSFlag3?inputID=<%=demandeDePoste.getIdDemandePoste()%>&fromValider=1" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<%
}
%>
                    </div>
                </div>
                <!--Footer-->
                <div class="modal-footer justify-content-center">
                    <button type="button" class="btn btn-outline-primary btn-rounded btn-md ml-4" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
                </div>
            </div>
            <!--/.Content-->
        </div>
 </div>
 <!--Modal: modalVM-->
After that,  the modal is called by a button :
<td><i class="fa fa-search fa-2x indigo-text" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modalVM<%=demandeDePoste.getIdDemandePoste()%>" title="Voir la demande" aria-hidden="true"></i></td>
To expand the textareas, i use this code, (from the topic https://mdbootstrap.com/support/text-area-auto-grow/)
jQuery.fn.extend({
  autoHeight: function () {
    function autoHeight_(element) {
      return jQuery(element)
        .css({ 'height': 'auto', 'overflow-y': 'hidden' })
        .height(element.scrollHeight);
    }
    return this.each(function() {
      autoHeight_(this).on('input', function() {
        autoHeight_(this);
      });
    });
  }
});

$('textarea').autoHeight();
I also tried the autosize.js  (from http://www.jacklmoore.com/autosize/)
The comportment is weird in both case, i will post some screenshots : 1 without the extended textarea and thus the perfect behavior of the webapps and 2 when i ty to implement it.
- Without autoresized textareas : perfect behavior :
- With autoresized textareas : weird behavior
Thank you for your help.
