Drop down width

I'm trying to modify the width of the Font, Size, and Format drop-downs. Anyone know the file where I can set this?

RE: Drop down width

You can set the default width of special combo's, which drop-down are, in 'editor/_source/classes/fcktoolbarspecialcombo.js' or you can set the width individually for each of the drop-downs by setting the next line in the function 'prototype.CreateItems' : 'targetSpecialCombo.FieldWidth = thePixelWidthYouWantInt;' where you fill in the thePixelWidthYouWantInt with a integer...
This would be the files 'fcktoolbarfontformatcombo.js', 'fcktoolbarfontscombo.js', 'fcktoolbarfontsizecombo.js' and 'fcktoolbarstylecombo.js'
See 'fcktoolbarfontsizecombo.js' for an example for setting the width...

RE: Drop down width

Thanks for the response. I did try altering that integer before I posted this and I just tried again, but with no success.

In fcktoolbarfontsizecombo.js I changed the line you specified to the following:

targetSpecialCombo.FieldWidth = 20 ;

I've cleared the cache and it isn't working in either FF or IE. Any thoughts? Is there another file overriding this?

RE: Drop down width

...did you consider that the files in /_source are only for development and are only used, if you exchange fckeditor.html with fckeditor.original.html?

if you want to change the behavior in production system you have to do your changes in the files \fckeditor\editor\js... -> the source-files are compressed into these files...

Hello Markooch and J:)rgen ,

I took the liberty to join you both here.

I posted a similar question in this forum
(here: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php? ... _id=257180)

with the same question. I tried the "\fckeditor\editor\js" modification and nothing changed, as explained in my postings!

What I (we?) am (are) doing wrong, J:)rgen, please?!

Thanks a lot,
fskilnik

RE: Drop down width

Snoopy, good tip! Made the following adjustments to both editor/js/fckeditorcode_gecko_2.js and fckeditorcode_ie_2.js:

To change the field width of the Fonts dropdown I added 'A.FieldWidth=80;' to the FCKToolbarFontsCombo.prototype.CreateItems function.

To change the field width of the Font Size dropdown, i changed 'A.FieldWidth=80;' in the FCKToolbarFontSizeCombo.prototype.CreateItems function.

Thanks again!

RE: Drop down width

Good news, Mardooch. Congrats!

Unfortunately I have no idea how to solve my problem. I looked at the files you mentioned but I could not find where the font default could be. I guess it is not there but... I also tried the css > fck_editorarea.css too, changed the first "font-family: Arial, Sans-Serif, Verdana;" in the body tag... without success.
