Chrome : make textareas which are not resizable

By default, Chrome makes my textareas resizable. I wish to control this and either make them only vertically resizable, or not at all.

How can I achieve this ?

From stackoverflow

• Set max-width to make them only vertically resizable, or set max-height and max-width to stop all resizing.

  However, be aware that breaking user expectations about how their browser treats controls tends to create a lot of user frustration.

• you can set the column and rows like

  <%= text_area :object, :attribute, :rows => '10', :cols => '100' %> 
  #=> <textarea cols="100" rows="10" id="object_attribute" name="object[attribute]">
  #      #{@object.attribute}
  #   </textarea>
  

  or specify the size like

  <%= text_area :object, :attribute, :size => "10x100" %> 
  #=> <textarea cols="10" rows="100" id="object_attribute" name="object[attribute]">
  #      #{@object.attribute}
  #   </textarea>
  

• Rails generate standard textarea tag, but Safari/Chrome (Webkit) display all (not only Rails :) textareas as resizable.

  It's apperance may be disabled by CSS

  textarea {
      resize: none;
      }
  

  Or, if need only vertical resize:

  textarea {
       resize: vertical;
       }
