How can I implement the instructions in this article to disable text area resize in Webflow?

To disable the textarea resize control in Webflow, you’ll need to apply a CSS style that removes the default browser functionality. Here’s how to do it using Webflow’s built-in tools.

1. Select Your Textarea Element

• Go to the Webflow Designer.
• Click to select your Textarea element on the canvas or from the Navigator.
• Give it a unique class name (e.g., No-Resize-Textarea) if it doesn’t have one already.

2. Use Custom CSS in Page Settings or Site Settings

• Go to Page Settings (if you only want this change on one page) or Site Settings > Custom Code (for all pages).

• Add the following CSS rule inside the Before or Before section:

  textarea.No-Resize-Textarea { resize: none; }

• This CSS tells the browser to disable the resize handle for any <textarea> with the class No-Resize-Textarea.

3. Alternatively Use the Webflow Style Panel

• With your textarea selected, ensure it has the correct class.
• Switch to the Style panel.
• Scroll down to the "Custom Attributes" section.
• Click + Add Custom Attribute.
• Set Name as style.
• Set Value as resize: none;
• This adds inline style directly to that element without needing custom code.

4. Publish Your Site

• Click Publish to deploy the changes in the live version of your site.
• Make sure to test the behavior in a live or preview environment, as the Editor/Designer may still show resize handles.

Summary

To disable textarea resizing in Webflow, either apply resize: none; using a custom class via CSS or use a Custom Attribute on the textarea element. This ensures users can’t resize the textarea manually.
