jQuery Chat Widget - Ability to change the message box from an input to a text area?

[Arthur]

Hello,

I am using the jquery chat widget as a virtual assistant on the right corner of the page and would like the ability change the message box to a textarea as opposed to an input so all the wording that is outside the scrollable view area is visible.

I see in the angular version of this widget that this is possible, is there a similar feature for the jquery chat version?  Or even the .net Core version?

Thanks,

Arthur

Hello, Arthur,

Currently the feature is not available in the Chat component for jQuery or for the .NET Core technologies. You can open a new feature request in our Feedback Portal so that we can evaluate the demand towards the functionality. 

A possible approach would be to try to override the source code to render a textarea instead of input.

Hey anyone interested, 

It turns out this is fairly easily done in the kendo.all.min.js.
Currently using Kendo UI v2023.1.117.

Search out this line. 
<input type='text'
and just change it to 'text' to 'textarea'
