The new docs don't seem as complete as the old ones, but the developer seems to have done a good job purging the olds ones. Hopefully you can at least find what you need over there.

Re: CFTEXTAREA onClick
Thanks Morgan.but unfortunately no luckbut it does give me lots more to go on! Actually I found an issue with Den's example as well.every 20 or so characters the function fires again.even when using the UNDO button on the toolbaras you are changing the contents of the textarea. I see Den is using the "OnSelectionChange" and I suspect that is similar to onChange. Is there an equivalent to onFocus? Where are these options documented?

Re: CFTEXTAREA onClick
If you examine the source created by instantiating the fck editor, you'll see that it's not just a CSS height on a textarea anymore. You'll find that you're inside an iframe. If this line from Den's example works: ColdFusion.RichText.getEditorObject('your_textarea_id'); then you would do something like: var myRTE = ColdFusion.RichText.getEditorObject('your_textarea_id'); myRTE.Height = '600'; On Tue, Jul 20, 2010 at 2:59 PM, Bryan Stevenson < br...@electricedgesystems.com> wrote: > > Thanks Den!! > > I tried your example and it does in fact fire off the alert! > > I modified it to adjust the textarea heightno love!! > > Here's the JS I tried: > > - > >function doIt() { >//alert( "Say cheese!" ) ; > document.myForm.myArea.style.height=600; > } > >function FCKeditor_OnComplete( editorInstance ) >{ >editorInstance.Events.AttachEvent( 'OnSelectionChange', > doIt ) ; >} > > > - > > Here's the CFTEXTAREA: > > - >id="myArea" >richtext="yes" >toolbar="ACATS" >skin="office2003" >height="200" > > toolbarOnFocus="yes">#FORM[textVarName]# > > - > > Yes the above text area is inside a form named "myForm" and the name and > ID for the CFTEXTAREA is "myArea". > > It doesn't error, but it does appear to impede the behaviour of the > "toolbarOnFocus" as the toolbar doesn't expand when the textarea is > clicked. > > So perhaps adjusting the height is still locked out??

Re: CFTEXTAREA onClick
Thanks Den!! I tried your example and it does in fact fire off the alert! I modified it to adjust the textarea heightno love!! Here's the JS I tried: - function doIt() { //alert( "Say cheese!" ) ; document.myForm.myArea.style.height=600; } function FCKeditor_OnComplete( editorInstance ) { editorInstance.Events.AttachEvent( 'OnSelectionChange', doIt ) ; } - Here's the CFTEXTAREA: - #FORM[textVarName]# - Yes the above text area is inside a form named "myForm" and the name and ID for the CFTEXTAREA is "myArea". It doesn't error, but it does appear to impede the behaviour of the "toolbarOnFocus" as the toolbar doesn't expand when the textarea is clicked. So perhaps adjusting the height is still locked out?? It should just be as simple as changing the CSS style for height...but alas... Any ideas? TIA Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.

Now this is lame: I went to livedocs to add the richtext binding "magic" for cf8, and they've cut off comments for "this version of the product". That right there violates all that I thought was cool with livedocs. Guess anything below 9 is really deaddocs. Hey, I like that.

I think this will get you the underlying object: ColdFusion.RichText.getEditorObject('your_textarea_id'); (I assume the equiv of: FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('InstanceName') ;) Then, check this out: http://docs.cksource.com/FCKeditor_2.x/Developers_Guide/JavaScript_API And I remember doing something like this, long ago: *** function FCKeditor_OnComplete( editorInstance ) { editorInstance.Events.AttachEvent( 'OnSelectionChange', DoSomething ) ; } var counter = 0 ; function DoSomething( editorInstance ) { // This is a sample function that shows in the title bar the number of times // the "OnSelectionChange" event is called. window.document.title = editorInstance.Name + ' : ' + ( ++counter ) ; } *** That OnComplete being a special FCK function.

If I used a standard textarea I'm sure I canbut the CFTEXTAREA gets locked out once renderedno events from its own event attributes AND no access from other controls that try and alter the height of the box via JS. Really this is dead simple except the thing is locked downgr.

RE: CFTEXTAREA onClick
Thanks Larry! Once again LiveDocs lets us downso sad! As you mentioned with all the generated JS code.not only do the event attributes not work, but making a seperate control with it's own events still can't alter the CFTEXTAREA (which I assume is due to the JS that takes control). Oh wellit's still a handy tagjust unnecessarily crippled IMHO like other useful tags such as CFDOCUMENT.

RE: CFTEXTAREA onClick
That is correct as far as I have been able to determine. If you examine the code (when you use rich text) you'll note a bunch of javascript is generated in the head of the document that grabs all control. I never did find a workaround and went to the CKEditor (which wouldn't help with what you want to do).

Re: CFTEXTAREA onClick
perhaps try the onFocus method instead. this will account for tabbing into the field as well.
