CSS nbsp 3 has a new property for UI elements that will allow you to do this  The property is the resize property  So you would add the following to your stylesheet to disable resizing of all textarea elements   textarea   resize  none      This is a CSS nbsp 3 property  use a compatibility chart to see browser compatibility   Personally  I would find it very annoying to have resizing disabled on textarea elements  This is one of those situations where the designer is trying to  break  the user s client  If your design can t accommodate a larger textarea  you might want to reconsider how your design works  Any user can add textarea   resize  both  important    to their user stylesheet to override your preference
