How to make html text box draggable and resizable using jQuery UI plugins?

Question

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.
