Can't change CKEditor config settings in firebug !?

I can successfully create and destroy CKEditor instances with firebug console
but for some reason I can't get the config method to work.. which would be
very helpful for trying out different configs on the page..

for instance.. when I put this in firebug..

CKEDITOR.config.height = 600;

I get no change in editor. . same for toolbar config, etc.

thanks..

How about change config / destroy / create combo?

As for changing size see also http://docs.cksource.com/ckeditor_api/s ... tml#resize

... is the right answer

I am able to get this to work from firebug.. which is
nice for getting to know the config settings..

CKEDITOR.instances.content.destroy()

CKEDITOR.replace('content')

CKEDITOR.replace( 'content',
    {
        toolbar : 'Basic',
        uiColor : '#9AB8F3'
    });

CKEDITOR.instances.content.resize( 900, 300 );

it seems like the order is key to making it work.. thanks..

Do not call replace() twice - it won't work and you'll see an error in Javascript console ([CKEDITOR.editor] The instance "content" already exists). Call destroy() before the second replace()

yes.. good point.. can't replace something that's replaced.
starting to get hang of this.. here's a sequence that worked for me in firebug:

CKEDITOR.instances   // to find out object .. in this case "acontent"

Object
acontent: a.editor

CKEDITOR.instances.acontent.destroy()

CKEDITOR.replace( 'acontent',
    {
        toolbar : 'Basic',
        uiColor : '#9AB8F3'
    });

CKEDITOR.instances.acontent.resize( 600, 300 );

the result is an editor with different toolbar, color and size..
I don't know if I'm doing it right but seems to work !
