Editor height mishandled on Firefox

[Lerac]

The heigth attributes appears to be mishandled on Firefox.

Setting attribute Height anything < 34 result in an editor with a 0 height content area. Setting Height anywhere from 35 to > 60 results in an editor with content area height ~151 px

Trying the solution suggested by post:

Generates a Javascript error: resizer has no properties

This is a critical issue for any form where widget size must be controlled precisely to conform to the expected layout.

Is there a means to control the height of the editor in a predictable and exact manner?

Hi Lerac,

This Height problem is due to  a well known issue / bug in the Mozilla browser, and not in r.a.d.editor. The browser itself ignores setting any heights smaller than 150px to the IFRAME element.

Here is a small sample that shows the root of the problem:

<table style="height:80px;border:3px solid green">
    <tr style="height:100%">
        <td style="height:100%">
            <iframe style="border: 1px solid red; height:100%" src=""></iframe>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

As you can see, there is no r.a.d.editor here. Just a simple table with an iFrame in it. Check how it will look like under IE and Firefox.

The good news is that you can fix this browser problem by using the RadEditor's Client-Side API. The following code will show you how to set the editor Height to 50 px in IE and Firefox:


<script type="text/javascript">
function SetCorrectSize(editor, args)
{                   
    window.setTimeout(function()
        {
            var editorIframe = $get("RadEditor1Wrapper").getElementsByTagName("iframe")[0];
            editorIframe.style.height = "50px";
            editor.setSize(350, 50);
       },100);
} 
</script>
<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" Height="50px" OnClientLoad="SetCorrectSize" runat="server">
