Set fixed size of cutesoft text area

Reply Quote

I'm trying to restrict the amount of physical space that a user of the editor has to enter text, images, etc on my website. Can someone tell me how I can create hard width and height boundaries for the editor? I’m not sure if there is a way to set a distinct number of pixels for the width and height, but that would be great if that was possible. If possible, I would also like to deactivate the scrollbars in this area. Can you tell me how I can set the text to wrap to the next line automatically? Any help that you could lend me would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello,

I can already provide you some info on some of the questions;

1. To have a fixed height & width, i.e. add the following lines

   <%                                                     
         Dim editor 
         Set editor = New CuteEditor 
         editor.ID = "Editor1" 
         editor.Text = "..." 
    
         editor.Width = 574 
         editor.Height = 200

         editor.Draw() 
   %>

2. Disabling the scrollbars in the editor;

You can create a style sheet that you will apply to the editor;

add the following line to the editor code

editor.StyleSheetPath = "mystylesheet.css"

In your stylesheet you create a class .editBox
and define the following property in this class;overflow: hidden;

For more info on overflow in CSS see http://www.w3schools.com/css

If you use a predefined style, such as Office2003, you can also modify the selector '.editBox', and modify the value of the 'Overflow' property. It is default set to 'Auto'. (can be located in the 'include.CuteEditor.asp' at line 589)

3. Wrap Text

I have the same problem with this one... still looking for a solution... see my post: http://cutesoft.net/forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3806

Hope to be of any assistance ...

Greetings

Wim

This advice may be obsolete...

editor.StyleSheetPath = "mystylesheet.css"

results in error..

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01b6'
Object doesn't support this property or method: 'StyleSheetPath'

Also, the following edit in a CSS has no effect...

.editBox { overflow:hidden; }

Please advise if I am mistaken.

Please use the following property:

Editor.EditorWysiwygModeCss Property.

Specifies the location of the style sheet that will be used by the editable area. Multiple Style Sheets are supported. Example EditorWysiwygModeCss="example.css,/default.css"

Example Code

      <%
           Dim editor
           Set editor = New CuteEditor
           editor.ID = "Editor1"
           'Specifies the location of the style sheet that will be used by the editable area.
           editor.EditorWysiwygModeCss = "example.css,/default.css"
           editor.Text = "Hello World"
           editor.Draw()
      %>

This is not working for me yet.

I have tried using .editBox and .editbox (case sensitivity?)

.editBox
{
overflow:hidden;
}

I have also tried using...

editor.EditorWysiwygModeCss = "local.css"

and...

editor.EditorWysiwygModeCss = "/folder/example.css"

Hi WilliamK,

This property works fine for me.

My test page

<html>
<head>
    <title>class example</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form name="theForm" method="post">
        <div>
            <%
       Dim editor
       Set editor = New CuteEditor
       editor.ID = "Editor1"
       editor.Text = "<span class='redText'>Hello World</span>"
       editor.EditorWysiwygModeCss = "asp.css"
       editor.Draw()
            %>
        </div>

    </form>
</body>
</html>

asp.css

.redText
{
background-color: Red;
}

Two files deploy into the root of my editor site.

Regards,

Ken

This is weird because I don't get anything like that all, so I am wondering where the conflict is...

Dim editor
   Set editor = New CuteEditor
   editor.ID = "Editor1"
   editor.ConfigurationPath = "/editor/editor_files/configuration/autoconfigure/cover_designer.config"
   editor.Width = 314
   editor.Height = 652
   editor.ShowWordCount = false
   editor.ShowTagSelector = false
   editor.EditorWysiwygModeCss = "local.css"
   editor.EditCompleteDocument=true

   editor.Text = "<span class='boldgreen'>" & strCoverPage & "</span>"

   editor.Draw()

I tried using a CSS placed in all possible locations and get no change to the loaded text. tested in IE9, Firefox7 and Chrome15

Ah, but that was recommended for being able to set page colour.
