Resize in WebKit - CSS3 Preview The web is littered today with interesting, useful, and ultimately pointless hacks to let users resize textarea boxes.  In the last month, WebKit, the open-source version of Mac OS X's Safari web browser, has implemented the new CSS3 property "resize," which allows you to specify if a box is resizable.  This page describes the property in detail and gives several good examples.  Of course, you must be using WebKit--or another browser that supports CSS3 "resize"--to work them.  And I had wondered why, all of a sudden, textarea boxes had started to show little resize handles when I was using WebKit!
