Using InfoPath 2010 with SharePoint 2010 to aid in letter-like forms, how can a textbox control be made to autosize with the text entered in a Browser rendered form?
We have letters that we would like to turn into InfoPath 2010 forms and use in SharePoint 2010. The letters have text and occasional textboxes for users to enter data. The textboxes are also sometimes filled in with data from a SharePoint list. We set the textbox to auto width and it resizes nicely in the InfoPath Filler when data is entered either by the user or through data connections to a SharePoint list. We would like to use the same letter-like form through the Browser via SharePoint 2010. When we view the form through the Browser, the textboxes are all sized to a default size which does not resize with data entry.
The textboxes behave like a normal HTML input box which makes some sense. They do not resize with text entry. They do not have their size based on data they contain regardless of whether it is input by the user or loaded from a data source defined in the InfoPath form.
After exprimenting a bit and searching the internet, we are under the impression that textbox autosize behavior is NOT supported through Browser forms.
We would like to understand either how to obtain the textbox autosize behavior or gain some confirmation that it is actually NOT supported through Browser forms.
