How to Auto-expand Knowledge Text Field?

[TylerTeter]

Is it possible to auto-resize the text field in the Knowledge Article to display as large as possible from the beginning? Most knowledge articles are longer than the default display size, and it would save steps/time/usability if this change was possible. I notice that if you do an HTML inspect element on the '+' button shown in the screenshot below, the following call is made - onclick="textareaSizer_Resize('kb_knowledge.text', +60);"

I tried replicating the function in a client script (no success), and feel close to the solution but I'm not sure how to properly call the function! Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Could you please share screenshots of the script you are trying to work upon?

Sure thing! It's extremely barebones right now, but here you go!

Also see below for the inspect element Javascript code it was calling.

Hi Tyler,

You might already have the solution but in case you haven't or someone else is struggling with the same issue, then this article from SNC Guru might be of help.

Mike,

I didn't actually find the solution so I halted development on it, but thank you for that Article! I think that will solve my problem!

Sincerely,

Tyler
