How to make a <input type="text"/> scale with height as it receives more text

The text on the input goes to the right when the input receives too much text, how do you make it so that the input scales downwards to make all the text be seen

jQuery Autosize is a plugin to enable automatic height for textarea elements. It does exactly what you need.

It is really easy to use

if you mean you want to adjust height of text area, write specific height and width with

<textarea rows="4" cols="50"></textarea>

Then you'll get scroll bar on the right side.

The right element to use for this is a <textarea>. <input type="text"> doesn't allow line breaks in its content, so it can never wrap to a second line.

input type text is always single line. you can use for multi-line and you can specify rows and columns. Look at this: http://css-tricks.com/textarea-tricks/ for auto resizing textareas and other tricks.
