Is there a plugin that would allow me to convert plain textarea to a stretchable one, just like Chrome does.
A:
There's a plugin called TextAreaResizer, see if it offers everything you're looking for.
It's only vertical, but it's the most cross-browser stable thing I've seen. Here's a link right to the demo

This works very well. The other alternative is to do a facebook-style (self.shudder()) textarea that grows as needed.

Can't get the textarea to resize at all with this plugin. Div around it grows but text area does not.

See http://jqueryui.com/demos/resizable/#textarea
There's also TextAreaResizer, but the demos only show vertical resizing so I'm not sure if it supports diagonal resizing.
