Today i will show you how to implement Facebook like expanding textbox with Jquery.Thanks to d Josh Bush for his nice watermarkinput java script file and Srinivas Tamada to developed this script.

Javascript Code
It works with Jquery latest version 1.4.2. $(‘#content’).focus(function(){} – content is the ID of the textbox. Using $(this).animate() expanding textbox height and using $(“#button_block”).slideDown() showing the update button
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/
ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function()
{
$("#content").focus(function()
{
$(this).animate({"height": "85px",}, "fast" );
$("#button_block").slideDown("fast");
return false;
});
$("#cancel").click(function()
{
$("#content").animate({"height": "30px",}, "fast" );
$("#button_block").slideUp("fast");
return false;
});
});
</script>
//HTML Code
<form method="post" action="">
<textarea id="content"></textarea>
<div id="button_block">
<input type="submit" id="button" value=" Share "/>
<input type="submit" id='cancel' value=" cancel" />
</div>
</form>
