How do I set maximum width of the FCK generated HTML?

Hi,

Hello to all. I am new to FCK editor, but I think it is great, easily the best text editor I have used.

However, I am having 2 problems, I hope someone can help.

1) I want to change the size of the text editor window (the part where the text is entered) how do I do this?

2) How to I set the maximum width of the html that is generated by FCk? I.e. I am using FCK to generate the html content for a page which is then stored into the database, but when the generated html is used to create the page it causing a problem with my page layout because I can't find a way to determine the max width in FCK editor?

Hope this makes sense. Thanks.

Re: How do I set maximum width of the FCK generated HTML?

I fixed it the output formatting issue, I simply put some more details into the css file of the page the data was loading into.
However, I am still wishing to know how I can adjust the width of the FCK editor and also the resultant generated HTML code, because fro example, when i centre some text, it pads out the left and right with " " - thats fine, but of course it has padded it out to the size of the FCK editor - and my pages require narrower output. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks.

When you say you center the text do you mean that you center align it or just use spacebar to center it out? You can set the editor width and height parameters during initialization of the editor area.

var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor("editorArea");
oFCKeditor.Height = "300";
oFCKeditor.Width = "100";

Hi, thanks for the info.

I am calling the editor with the following code, how would I adjust the width and height in this instance?

$oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor('FCKeditor1') ;
$oFCKeditor->BasePath = '/editor/' ;
$oFCKeditor->Value = $page_content;
$oFCKeditor->Create() ;

Thanks for your help.

Hi, don't worry, very easy, I used the following code:

$oFCKeditor->Height = "400";
$oFCKeditor->width = "800";

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm trying to resize part of the fckeditor - just the bit where you enter content/text etc, but not the toolbars. Is this possible?
What i'm trying to achieve is letting the user see an editable box the same size as the area of the webpage they are editing because
they don't always seem to follow that just because it fits in the big editor window it might not fit in a 100px wide column on the website!

Cheers
