How to set fixed width and "custom-resizeable" length to Spring ?

Question

I've digged a lot but still didn't found answer for my case. I have some model window, inside of it I have some textarea:

<div class="form-group">
    <label for="groupDescription" class="col-sm-2 control-label">
            Description: </label>
    <div class="col-sm-10">
        <form:textarea path="groupDescription" cssClass="form-control" />
        <form:errors path="groupDescription" />
    </div>
</div>

It automatically have the same width as input forms in this window, this is good. But! I can resize it, so it can be outside of modal window borders. How can I disable this width resizing? For length I would like to set some option like "length is 2 rows, but no more than 10 rows". Can you help? Also, can I do it without JavaScript? Thanks in advance! :)

P.S. Sorry, I've needed to edit title.

To prevent the textarea from resizing you can simply add the CSS attribute to your textarea class resize: none; .

Apart from this <form:textarea> has no difference with the html textarea , it rendered as normal textarea in the browser. you can check that by inspecting it the browser source.

You can use resize: vertical; to allow only resizing its length

Yes, you right! But! I want to disallow only width resizing, not length too... For length it would be better to set some option like "length is 2 rows, but no more than 10 rows". Can you help with this? – Alex Jan 23 '15 at 13:18

You can use resize: vertical;, this will allow vertical resize only.

Oh, really... Sorry. But I still need to know how to set "length is 2 rows, but no more than 10 rows"... – Alex Jan 23 '15 at 13:56
I realy don't know how to set maxrows, but you can try `max-height:` – Paulo Segundo Jan 23 '15 at 14:01
Yes, it works with `max-height:`. Not as I expected, but I can accept this solution, thanks! – Alex Jan 23 '15 at 14:15
