    Width of RTE In Live Edit (Canvas) mode

    is there any way to adjust the width of the Rich text editor when in Canvas mode? Currently we have a 3 column area on our website and when you click an area (document type) defined as RTE on the page it expands its width to overlap to the other columns. This makes it hard to read when editing in Live Edit mode (see attached image).


    The images below are small (so I could display in this thread) - i can link to higher res if needed.


    Here it is as shown to the public (rendered as a webpage no Live edit):





    Here is how it is displayed when in Live Edit mode (editing the content):

    OK - I'm pretty sure this is b/c umbraco only allows you to set the height and width of the RTE (tinyMCE) globally for the entire site. I guess I could create multiple RTE datatypes and setup various RTE instances that can be used in areas taht require a specific hxw. Any thoughts?

    Hi,

    It think that's indeed best thing to do, create multiple instances of the rte and set width and height according to specs on the frontend.

    Cheers,

    I use (with good result) the following solution:

    WIDTH - I use my CSS-template's width as the width-limiter (= 100% for the RTE, to fill the correct width)

    Worth of notice
    HEIGHT -  I use a minimum-height and a calculated content-height = more content => more heigth with help from the following plugin:
