I have a textarea and I need to record when a user edits the text and also this text area is resizable. I would like to detect when the text area gets resized. Could you let me know the functions that I could use.
Thanks

Well I am sure you know what the first event is to detect if the user changed the text... https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/change – epascarello Oct 06 '17 at 12:53

I am actually saving this data from a text area to a session variable which I can use for later. I need to store values when the textarea is getting resized without any delay as there is a chance that users can just go to another page. it is critical for my application to record these changes. This should work in almost all the browsers. – Lynn Rey Oct 06 '17 at 14:49
