How to adjust the size of the text editing area?

Hi. I'm new to FCK. I really like it and am excited to include it in my ColdFusion based web sites.

FCK comes included with ColdFusion 8, and after a little configuration, I got it working.

Now that it's working, I'd like to adjust the size of the text editing area. That is, the area defined by <cftextarea> or <textarea>.

Usually I adjust the size of this area by setting values for rows and columns:

<cftextarea name="StoryText"
richtext="true"
skin="office2003"
rows="40"
cols="40"
wrap="hard">#StoryText#</cftextarea>

But I find that no matter what values I use for rows and cols, the text editing area remains a small, fixed size.

I look in the various .js config files on my web server (in /CFIDE/scripts/ajax/etc). But I don't see any place in there to adjust the default size of this text editing area.

Can anybody help me out? This seems like it should be a simple task to adjust the size of the editing area.

Thanks very much.

In the java tag, there are two properties width and height. I would try checking to see if those properties can also be set in the cold fusion version.

I found the solution. There are parameters for height and width.

I did:

height=400
width=600

and that worked. I am trying to see where in the documentation I missed this.

Thanks very much for your help.
