Text area expand fields option is not working in Internet Explorer 10

    I have scoured the forum for the past 30 minutes and can't find my answer. I have a user with Internet Explorer 10 that can't expand the fields--does not see the double lines in the bottom right corner).  I use Chrome so everything is fine on our end and others have used the form with no problem.  When I opened Internet Explorer 11 on my computer, I had the same problem.  I turned compatibility off and that did not fix the problem.  People access the form directly from a link on our website.

    I have tested your form on IE 8 on my computer and on IE 10 and IE 11 simulator and I was able to reproduce mentioned issue.

    I will escalate this issue to our developer and we will inform you via this thread once this issue is resolved.

    Possible workaround is to add this code inside of your form: 

    .form-textarea {

    resize: vertical;}

    This will allow your users to scroll text area vertical in Internet Explorer.

    I added the code (thanks for the link on how to do that) and tested it in Internet Explorer 11. Didn't work; same problem.  Will wait to hear more.

    It seems that the issue is related to the CSS resize property which is not supported by Internet Explorer. In other words, Internet Explorer does not have the textarea resizing feature.

    It does not look like this is a JotForm bug, but our developers will take a look into. Thank you.
