Setting height of textbox to height of label text

Question

Can someone provide me an example of how I can set the height of my textbox to fit the height of a label that accompanies it? As you can see, I have my label and textbox within a fieldset. The text for my label can be variable so I'm unsure if there are css properties to handle this or it must be set it dynamically. I should also mention that my labels are populated on the fly when the page loads. I'm using Asp.net. ```

Accepted Answer

You could do it using jQuery.

```
$(document).ready(function() {
   var labelHeight = $('label').height();
   $('textarea').height(labelHeight);
});
```
