I''m having a problem getting the text area the size I want it to be.
In my view at the top I have this init calls
<script type="text/javascript" >
tinyMCE.init({
mode: "textareas",
theme: ''advanced'',
theme_advanced_toolbar_location: ''top''
});
</script>
Then in my form:
<%= text_area ''position'',
''full_description'' , :cols => "50", :rows =>
"15" %>
I''ve had the cols set to 200 and the rows to 600 and it hasn''t
changed. Anyone know how to get this working right or perhaps any
issues ? I''ve tested it both in IE 7 and FF 1.5.x
Same behaviour in both.
TIA
Stuart

Bummer, it didn''t help! :(. It sounded hopeful. I even changed the rows cols back to symbols but alas no difference. I''m having a tough time with these editors. Had dumped fck the other day for this.

I thought I''d try removing tinymce and seeing what I get just defining a regular text_area. Well it''s not sizing the rows and cols correctly with just a plain old rails text_area. Very puzzling as I''ve tried various combinations: <%= text_area ''position'', ''full_description'', :cols => 300, :rows => 900 %> Anyone ?

I''m wondering if the large number of rows and columns is causing the browser to ignore the numbers. Also, when you ''view source'' from within the browser, what does the html look like? -- Larry Wright http://www.approachingnormal.com http://www.welcometoparenthood.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Larry , I just updated this thread so in answer to your first question, the new thread explains is that this only happens in one of my apps. In another I could correctly size from 20x20 to 200 x 400 (rows and cols) The html is fine, for example: <textarea cols="40" id="position_full_description" name="position[full_description]" rows="20"></textarea> Stuart On 9/16/06, Larry Wright <larrywright-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > On 9/16/06, Dark Ambient <sambient-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > > > I thought I''d try removing tinymce and seeing what I get just defining > > a regular text_area. > > Well it''s not sizing the rows and cols correctly with just a plain old > > rails text_area.

Rimantas, Thanks , yes I think I messed up changing the topic on this thread. However, yes it was in the CSS.
