In HTML, a textarea usually allows users to resize it by dragging its lower right corner. However, sometimes we may want to disable this manual dragging behavior in order to fix the size of the text field. To achieve this, you can use the CSS resize property.
The specific steps are as follows:
Find the text area element (textarea) that needs to be disabled in the HTML file.
Add CSS styles to the text field element and set the resize attribute to none. This will disable the user from dragging to resize the text field.
Here's a simple example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
<style>
textarea {
resize: none; /* Disable users from manually dragging and resizing */
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<textarea name="" id="" cols="30" rows="10">This is the text area content</textarea>
</body>
</html> In the above example, we set resize: none; style for the textarea element, thereby disabling users from resizing it by dragging.

Note that while this approach works effectively in most modern browsers, to ensure compatibility it's best to test thoroughly before actual deployment. Additionally, the resize attribute is a CSS3 feature and therefore may not be supported in some older browsers. If you need to support these browsers, you may want to consider using other methods or provide a downgrade option.
