jQuery Code

	$('textarea').elastic();
	
	// on clicking edit link hide main box
	$('.edit_link').livequery("click", function(e){
		
		$.post("edit_data.php", {

		}, function(response){
			
			$(".main_box").hide();
			$(".edit_box").show(); // show text area box
			$("#profile_text_area").val(response);
