This plugin combines ideas from Chrys Bader's Auto Expanding Text Area and John Kuindji's Growfield Library 2 and implements them in a concise and stripped down way.

Just call simpleautogrow() for some <textarea> elements:

$(document).ready(function(){
  $('textarea').simpleautogrow();
});

The jQuery simple autogrow plugin is currently available for use in all personal or commercial projects under both MIT and GPL licenses. This means that you can choose the license that best suits your project, and use it accordingly.

The plugin was originally created by Antti Kaihola <akaihol plus-sign jquery at-sign ambitone dot com>.
