Set height for CKeditor?

I am using the basic approach in ckeditor/_samples/replacebyclass.html, and I would like the editor to be taller, with a height of something like 100%, 95%, or 800px.

How can I override the default height?

Not sure why that's not working for you, but I actually change the height elsewise; Not sure why I did it this way (perhaps I never got it to work in 2.x?), but I set the CSS height of the textarea before using replace(). Are you replacing a textarea by any chance..?

I had the same problem try putting it in the replace function but make sure to add extraPlugins : 'uicolor'. For some reason that made it work.

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
CKEDITOR.replace( 'page_body',
{
extraPlugins : 'uicolor',
height: '800px',
} );
//]]>
</script>

Thank you; yes, I am replacing a textarea. At least on Firefox 3.0.14, I don't observe any change by changing the number of rows or by setting a CSS height of 100% or 800px.

Where did you put that? I tried putting the text you provided in the HTML page just before the </body> tag, and I didn't observe different behavior.

Thank you,

Re: Set height for CKeditor?

I am having problem with 100% percent height. It is important to be able to 100% as I have an email client pop-up that should follow the windowsize.

What can I do to make this work?

This is my code:
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1',
{
skin : 'office2003',
height: '100%'
});
//]]>
</script>

I really love the new CKEditor - espcially with the scayt build in, so I would like to update my cutesoft editor.

Thank you,

I found my problem; I had not used the name/ID of the textarea in lieu of 'page_body', and it works with a specified height in pixels (but not '100%').
