Is there anyway through CSS or Javascript set the height of the textarea based on the content? I have a hardcoded height in my CSS but i wanted it to default so there is no vertical scroll bar on page load?

How about http://www.jacklmoore.com/autosize/ Drop Autosize into any web page and it should Just Work. The source is short and well commented if you are curious to how it works.

// Example:

$(document).ready(function(){

    $('textarea').autosize();   

});
