Hi: I'm working with a version 4.7 installation of Drupal. I need to remove the Javascript resizable textareas - you know those li'l triangles at the bottom right corner of textareas, that let you pull on them and make them bigger/smaller? For various reasons, I need to turn this feature off thorughout my entire installation. (For one: has anyone noticed that it screws up the text directly below it in IE7?)

Does anyone know where in the code for Drupal 4.7 I can disable/remove this? My thanks in advance --

It may make more sense to alert drupal dev's of the problem with the text, and provide a screenshot so that the .css can be looked @. Though I seem to recall this being fixed in later releases of 4.7 and 5.x. Which begs the question, which version of 4.7 ? are you using ?

I am using the latest, version 4.7.7. Regarding the IE7 problem: First off, this is not the only reason I want this disabled; there are some other non-technical mitigating factors as well which I will not trouble you with here; which is the reason I did not submit this as a bug: I truly just want this feature disabled on my own installation.

However, regarding CSS: I have also checked this in Firefox, Safari and IE6, and this probloem does not show up in any of them. It seems to occur only in IE7 - which is why I consider it an IE7 bug, and not a CSS problem (although I suppose that doesn't preclude an IE7-only workaround).

I would venture a guess that what you seek can be found in the comment.module, exactly where I don't know off hand, I'd also assume you'd set it to FALSE where it's probably set to true much like collapsible field sets.

I havenot tried it and if you never want to see the grippie, edit the file misc/textarea.js, toward the top you will see

if (isJsEnabled()) {
  addLoadEvent(textAreaAutoAttach);
}

Try removing all three lines (you could empty the file also if the functions are not called from anywhere else)
