radeditor lite increase height of textarea

[Tom]

I had been trying to solve an issue with the radeditor lite for sharepoint where the textarea height was too small and any changes to the config.xml files did not help.

The workaround I came up with was to add the following line to our master.css file which is pulled in throughout our sharepoint site.
td.RadEContentContainer iframe {height:300px !important}

Hello Tom,

You can control the editor size by modifying the ConfigFile.xml / ListConfigFile.xml file in \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\wpresources\RadEditorSharePoint\xxxxxx\RadControls\Editor\ on your server.

Tthe width and height are set in the following way:

  <property name="Height">240px</property>
  <property name="Width">500px</property>

you can increase these values or you can experiment with percent values (e.g. 100%) and see if the editor will stretch to fill the available space.

Changing the config files did not make any change to the height of the textarea/iframe. My point was that the line of CSS I previously posted, did increase the height of the textarea/iframe.

Thank you for sharing your workaround, Tom!

It is possible that some global css style is resizing the content area on your side. In this case, your workaround is the only possible way to solve it, except of removing the global class.
