I’ve seen it as a Greasemonkey script and I know I’ve seen it on sites, but I can’t find an example of it now. I’ve tried to take the greasemonkey script but I can’t get it to work as a site script. Anyone have a site with an example of this? Or know where I can find it? ---

This works for me under Mozilla. I don’t currently have a working IE version to test on, but it’s probably not too hard to make it work under IE too. ```auto Resizable text-box ``` I didn’t try binding to mousemove, though that could maybe give animated drag-and-drop. ---
