prettyComments

Here’s my solution to comment boxes that are alway too small for long comment. As the user enter comment in this box, the box will stretch so the full comment will always be visible, making it easier for the user to review and edit his comment before posting it.

If you have any comment or ways to improve it, just leave me a message in the forums!
