I went from FF2 to FF3rc2, and this script seems broken now :( Resizing text boxes seems very chaotic, if it works at all. I always used this script as an example when telling people why Firefox was so cool. Hopefully, a fix will appear eventually.

Won't work in FF 3.0beta5 anymore :-(

On first mouse over the element is ripped from the pageflow, obscuring following elements behind it. No matter where you drag the markers, the textbox will stay fixed in size and only move over the page along with the upper left corner.

private_lock: Thanks for the bug report. The issue was not caused by anything that I changed, but by the strange HTML on that site. This version (0.3.1) should correct the problem wherever it arises.

BUGREPORT:

After updating to current version I'm unable to send messages on http://single.de/msg.html

Element resizer somehow interferes with their script to extract the text. The Java-Script-Consol shows now errors, just 3 warnings: "Error with 'display'. Declaration ignored." (my translation from german)

Any ideas, what you've changed, that might result in such an error? It used to work with version 0.2.1 (2005-12-07)

thanks

Heino: done.

Hemal: Sorry about that. I have given back control+right and control+left; to resize horizontally with the keyboard you now use shift+control+up and shift+control+down. I don't have a good interface for customizing the bindings, but if you know javascript you can do it yourself by editing the keypress handler (it starts at line 601). Please email me if you need help or have a specific request.

Also, I recommend that anyone who does not already have User Script Updates (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/2296) download it now. It would have automatically notified you of this update :-).

Great script. Very useful for me. I have to use the Web interface of Domino, whose mail compose pop-ups have a fixed size, small textarea. Now I can widen it.

But why hijack control-right/left? I have all the more need for them while editing, now that I have a wider textarea.

Really appreciate if you can make the bindings customizable, even some instructions on how the script can be tweaked to do that.

great script!
but the input-tag... can you enable to handle the different types like checkbox, radio, text and submit seperatly?!
Some pages can't handle the checkbox and radio the right way when the input-tag is resizable generally.

Took me a little while to figure out how this works... a list of elements that can be added to the "Set Tags" menu would be nice for those of us who are Java illiterate. Thanks!!

Great script! However, with this script activated GMail stays blank.
