Any simple way to increase the editors window automatically ?

Hi forumfolk,

After about 5 years of manually expanding the editor's window i wondered if it is preset somewhere convenient?

Interesting.  Inspect element displays textarea height as 175px, but it doesn't appear anywhere in 2.0 code.  Only way I can change it is by adding height here -

GenericControls.template.php

Code Select Expand



<div>
<div style="width: 98.8%;">
<div>
<textarea style="height: 300px;" class="editor" name="', $editor_id, '" id="', $editor_id, '" rows="', $editor_context['rows'], '" cols="600" onselect="storeCaret(this);" onclick="storeCaret(this);" onkeyup="storeCaret(this);" onchange="storeCaret(this);" tabindex="', $context['tabindex']++, '" style="height: ', $editor_context['height'], '; ', isset($context['post_error']['no_message']) || isset($context['post_error']['long_message']) ? 'border: 1px solid red;' : '', '">', $editor_context['value'], '</textarea>
</div>
<div id="', $editor_id, '_resizer" class="richedit_resize"></div>
</div>
</div>



If you change it anywhere else it has no effect.

Perfect !

so much nicer than looking through a letterbox.

thank you, Sir.

Interesting option. Thanks!

i think so, too.

maybe it will one day it could be a Configuration option - after all, where would we be without an editor ?!

(a joke i heard: " I hate rhetorical statements, I mean "what's the point ?!" ") 

I settled on 400px.

Press enter number of times on the textarea. It expands automatically...

Is that something you'd be interested in?

Not for me, thanks!

Thanks but i'm finding a larger window as a DEFAULT to be more suitable.
