Elastic Textarea field with jQuery

Create Gantt diagrams onlines
I have found Gantter, a fantastic online and free project management tool for create and edit online Gantt diagrams.
One of the most attractive aspect of this tool is that you don’t need to register or login to use it. Just open the homepage and you are ready for use it (this is an extreme example of lazy registration).
