FCK editor width

[Nicky]

FCK editor textarea differs in 'edit' and in 'view' mode, so what you see is not completely what you get.
Is it possible to make the textarea a little wider so the width of the sentences (and tables if used) remains exactly the same in both modes?
I know this is no problem for Tinymce, but 'how to' for FCKeditor.
See demo:

Hi Nicky,

you can style the with by css, use the form#ta selector (but remember the scrollbar inside the edit-area).
I don't know another way at the moment .

But

I know this is no problem for Tinymce

how is it working with TinyMCE? Isn't it the same as with FCKeditor?

With tinymce it's very easy.
Just edit cmsimple template, file stylesheet.css and add at the very bottom of the page :

form textarea#text{width:515px;} /*TinyMCE - width is also determined by the width of the editor control button lines */
.mceContentBody{/*background-image: none;*/ background-color: #1C1A13; color: white;} /*TinyMCE*/

This code also fixes textarea background colour and font colour.

Any ideas which files to edit for fck and what code exactly to add where?
Thx

Yes, it's working the same way as with TinyMCE:
use the template css and add

Code: Select all

form#ta{width:515px;}

That's it.

The id "ta" is defined in /cmsimple/fckeditor.php:

Code: Select all

'<form method="post" id="ta" action="'.$sn.'">'
