jamespadolsey/jQuery.fn.autoResize — Issue #13: Height issue with initially hidden textarea and percentage width in IE8

In IE8, called $('#mytextarea').autoResize() on a currently hidden (and empty) textarea with a percentage based width.

When the textarea is displayed and text is entered, autoResize expands an entire line for every character entered.

This seems to stop happening when the textarea is given a px width or when the textarea is displayed while .autoResize is called.

Other info:
Does not happen in FF, Chrome, IE9
The textarea is in a display:none div(it is not set to display:none itself)
