Do you mean, you are writing an inline html editor, for other web page authors to include on web pages? In this case, I finally understand how the % width of the textarea is not know at the time of writing. In this case, there are 2 things you can do that I can think of:
- Document the fact that the textarea is wrapped in a div, so that authors know how the DOM changes (well, you should do this anyway)
- Transfer all classes on the text-area to the wrapper, and document this (so authors know set styles on .replaceableTextArea rather that textarea), and document this
I would probably opt for the second one. But you are right, it is strange there is no (apparent) say to access the CSS style as it was specified.
