Need help with textarea resizing other elements

I am trying to update a character sheet I made a long time ago by removing all table elements. I used textareas in several places throughout the sheet. With tables any time a user resizes a textarea, it would push other elements out of the way, growing that portion of the sheet based on how the box is resized. I want to replicate that effect. Currently, when a user resizes a box, nothing moves; the textarea is resized behind other elements and effectively does nothing. I would post associated code, but I'm new to posting in the forums. I have no idea what code to post since textareas are used throughout my sheet.

Without seeing the css for your textarea and or parent elements it's hard to say, but it sounds like you are experiencing a position issue.  Try using position:relative and/or removing any position:absolute that could be forcing elements out of the natural flow of the sheet.
