CSS resize Property


CSS's resize property is used to resize an element based on the needs of the user. It does not apply to inline elements or block elements with visible overflow.

The CSS resize property defines how the element can be resized. It has control over the look and function of the resizing mechanism. The resizing mechanism is usually a triangle knob in the element's bottom right corner.
