Using jquery ui draggable plugin, I've made html text box draggable in this way:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $("#Text1").draggable({
            containment: "parent",
            cancel: null
        });
    });
</script>

<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>

    <div id="dialog" title="Dialog Box" style="border: solid 1px black;">
        <input id="Text1" type="text" style="width: 200px; height: 20px;" value="Text1" />
    </div>

</div>
</form>

But, how to make it resizable using jQuery as well?

Thank you in advance.

Here is the DEMO to make the HTML textbox resizable and draggable using jquery-ui

HTML:

<div id="container" class="ui-widget-content">
<h3 class="ui-widget-header">Containment</h3>
<span id="draggable">*  
<input type="text "id="resizable" class="ui-state-active" value="This is input box">
</span>
</div>

JS:

$(function() {
     $( "#resizable" ).resizable({
containment: "#container"
});
     $( "#draggable" ).draggable({containment: "#container"});
});
