expand textarea on the fly

Hi,

i am changing the height of my textarea as followed:

var heightx = document.getElementById('articlearea').style.height;
heightx = parseInt(heightx.replace(/px/i,"")) + 100;
document.getElementById('articlearea').style.height = heightx + "px";

How chan i apply this to the FCKeditor?

Re: expand textarea on the fly

if your textarea is called 'articlearea', then the editor's frame object should be called 'articlearea___Frame' (use some plugin - like IE Developer Toolbar for IE or Firebug for Firefox - to see the generated source code of your page, and have a look at the editor's frame to find out its ID).

so knowing the ID of the editor's frame, you can now change its height:

document.getElementById("articlearea___Frame").height = heightx;

I did search the source with firebug but couldnt find the corresponding tag...

Actually it was the one with the id="xyz___Frame". Thanks for your help.
