Sizing the iframe

I'm tying to set the size of the FCKEditor iframe, and the editor inside it. I found the custom config setting:

var oFCK = new FCKeditor('adv_text1');
oFCK.Config["CustomConfigurationsPath"] = "/inc/fckconfig.js";

And the BodyId setting, and even tried the Height setting:

FCKConfig.BodyId = 'adv_text1body';
FCKConfig.Height = '500';

But the BodyId is being set on a secondary iframe, and the Height setting isn't showing up.

So, how do I set the size of the editor?

Thanks for your help,

Re: Sizing the iframe

d'Oh! OK, so looking through the source code I found the answer.

// FCKeditor Class
var FCKeditor = function( instanceName, width, height, toolbarSet, value )
{
   // Properties
   this.InstanceName   = instanceName ;
   this.Width         = width         || '100%' ;
   this.Height         = height      || '200' ;
   this.ToolbarSet      = toolbarSet   || 'Default' ;
   this.Value         = value         || '' ;
   this.BasePath      = FCKeditor.BasePath ;
   this.CheckBrowser   = true ;
   this.DisplayErrors   = true ;

   this.Config         = new Object() ;

   // Events
   this.OnError      = null ;   // function( source, errorNumber, errorDescription )
}

OK, next challenge: updating the content from AJAX result. I'll post a new item for this.

Please, remember that FCKeditor is a retired and no longer supported product, if you're starting to use it now you should switch to CKEditor instead.

On the other hand, if you're supporting some existing install, you should think about upgrading it as sooner or later you'll face problems to which the only answer is "switch to CKEditor".

Re: Sizing the iframe

Thanks Alfonsoml. But yes, I'm supporting someone else's project. I can't switch editors just now.
