<script src="{{mydomain}}/elastic-text.js"></script>

    new ElasticText({node: document.getElementById('txt-expand')});

#EVENTS The current DOM Events are attached are: * Paste * Cut * KeyUp * Keydown * Keypress

#OTHER GOODIES If you want to play with the character width and the width/character position in which the area expands I highly suggest using CSS to acheieve this effect.

##EXAMPLE

textarea {
    width: 300px;
    padding: 4px; /* illusion of about 2 characters from 'end' for default font sets */
}
