How to change the width of fckeditor

I am currently using an integrated version of fckeditor 1.6 with Mambo Server 4.5 1.0.7. The editor works fine outside of the fact that it is too wide for my front end and therfore it throws the formatting of the page off. I tried changing the file editor.fckeditor.php on line 37 ($name->CreateFCKeditor( $hiddenField, 650, 400) to the width that I wanted it to be. It did change the width but the editor was cutoff with some of its features, buttons, etc. out of view. I am assuming that where as the size of the textarea changed the size of the Iframe that contains the editor didn't. If someone can help me with this I would greatly appreciate.

Thanks in advance.

I had a problem similar to this. I had my FCKeditor textarea inside a table and I just incerased the width of my table to 800 pixels. It makes my page look like crap but the whole editor is displayed.
This will do for me until I get around to creating custom toolbars with only the options I need - which will hopefully reduce the width too.
Don't know if this helps?

Far better to edit the toolbars, though. I took 10 minutes to remove all the functions that my users either won't need or aren't going to get, and altered the number of lines of toolbar to trade width for length - now I can show a usable rte in 300 px!
NB: when doing the edit, copy the 'default' one, rename it and don't forget to keep the case-sensitive aspect in mind!

RE: How to change the width of fckeditor

Is this the same problem as when your in the browser area and the width of the text area is cut off? I'm using FCKeditor with XOOPS and it works fine on the backend when I'm in the admin area, but when my users try and enter their submissions on the front end of the site the width cuts off and they can't see their text on the righthand side. How do you change this? And how do you set up custom tools too btw?
