Composing area size...where can I set it?

In php, after you make a new editor:
$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('FCKeditor1') ;
You can access the Height property of the editor and change it:
$oFCKeditor->Height = '900';

You can also look at the source code that writes the text area in php or whichever language you use to find out more. Look in the fckeditor folder. The php files are fckeditor_php4.php and fckeditor_php5.php.

That's what worked for me in any case. Good luck.

I'm using some JavaScript like this:

        var e = new FCKeditor('content');
        e.Config['CustomConfigurationsPath'] = '/javascripts/my_config.js';
        ...
        e.Height = "96%";
        e.Width = "98%";
        e.ReplaceTextarea();

The other way I'm changing the size, is to put the whole thing in a div and with jQuery do stuff like this:

  function size () {
    var rev = $('#mydiv');
    var top =  rev.get(0).offsetTop;
    rev.css({
      width: document.body.offsetWidth,
      height: document.documentElement.clientHeight - top
    });
  }

Both methods change the size, and I'm trying to figure what's best for my purposes. Hope one of these methods helps you!

I'm sure that you are already there, but I expected to find this info here: http://docs.fckeditor.net/FCKeditor_2.x ... on_Options - but despite detailing how to have the editor strip our Word formatting marks or ideas on adding spell checking I couldn't find any reference to width or height. So I guessed.

There are 'Width' and 'Height' attributes for the editor object, so

<instantiate new> fckeditor
fckeditor.Height = 800
fckeditor.Width = 600
fckeditor.Create

... works.
