# unable to resize textarea based on resizing a div

Hi All!\
I want to resized [textbox](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/12714/dynamic-textbox-in-gridview) with the help of css and jquery. How it is possible. \
My line of code as following. \
<[textarea](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/155821/how-we-will-generate-textarea-control-using-htmlhelper-in-razor-view) name="quotes" id="resizeable" cols="40" rows="10" ></textarea>\
I want to resize it from a div just below of the textaea.\
<div id="grippie" [style](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/126300/apa-citation-style-get-to-know-about-it-for-your-next-assignment)="[margin](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/104990/what-is-a-margin-call)-[right](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12766/check-whether-you-are-doing-digital-transformation-right-or-not): 0px;[cursor](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13003/create-a-simple-cursor-in-sql-server): n-resize;">-----------------------------</div>\

Please help me to [solve this issue](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/95726/i-am-getting-we-re-working-on-setting-you-up-on-my-google-adsense-for-a-very-long-time-how-should-i-solve-this-issue).\

Hi Ezra!\
replace you jquery from following code\
$('#resizable').resizable({ handles: { s: $('.ui-resizable-s') }, alsoResize: $('textarea')});
