How to resize FCKeditor automatically??? HELP!!

I think reading your post a second time that your requirements are different to mine. You want the editor box size to follow the user entered content when the refresh button is pressed. I want the box size to follow the available space in the browser. Your requirement means that there will be no scroll bar on the FCLeditor box so the users will use the browser scroll bar. Mine means that there would ideally never be a scroll bar on the browser.

I figured a way to get the editor box to fit approximately to the browser window the first time it loads. It doesn't react to changes in the window size yet but hopefully that shouldn't be a problem. Part of my solution, which is based on this article http://www.devcity.net/Articles/64/screenresolution.aspx uses asp.net programming as that is the paradigm I'm working in. My Page_Load function looks like this rather than the one from the above mentioned article:

    public void Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e){
        if (Session["Height"] == null) {
            Response.Redirect("detectscreen.aspx");
        } else {
            int availableHeight = Convert.ToInt32(Session["Height"].ToString());
            FCKeditor1.Height = availableHeight - 300;
        }        
    }

Its a bit scruffy now I admit. I'm still wondering what auto-grow does though...

.. for anyone interested in doing this there is a small script at the above link that does a great job of resizing the editor to the window size by calling the function behind the FitWindow toolbar button. You can call the function every time the window size changes..

function FCKeditor_OnComplete( editorInstance )
{
   document.getElementById('FCKeditor1___Frame').style.height = "400px";
}

How about you use this (first set the wdith to 100%)
:

<script type="text/javascript">
            var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor( 'MyFCKEditor' ) ;
            oFCKeditor.BasePath     = sBasePath ;
            oFCKeditor.Value  = '' ;
            oFCKeditor.Height   = document.documentElement.clientHeight-20; //Set the height to the initial window size - 20 for the scrollbar.
            oFCKeditor.Create() ;
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
function resizeWin()
{
var height = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
height = -20; // -20 for the scrollbar
document.getElementByID('FCKMapEdit___Frame').style.height = height;
};
window.onresize = resizeWin;
</script>

Also you dont need the outside HTML scrollbar so disable that using style sheets. go to your CSS (as defined in the top of your html page - fo example the default is sample.css I believe. In that file set the following

html
{
overflow: hidden;
}

Edit your config file. Find 'autogrow' word.
Looks like // FCKConfig.Plugins.Add( 'autogrow' ) ;
Uncomment it.

Look below and see a lin looks like: FCKConfig.AutoGrowMax = 400 ;
This is the number in pixel show Maximum size of editor window. You can insert any number.

This doesn't work in Opera...

contains some JavaScript to find the height of the actual content.
