Make the editor vertically and horizontally stretched in the page

Reply Quote

Hello,

I am currently evaluating your product.

I am trying to make the editor stretch 100% in the page both vertically and horizontally.

I have a simple web form in which i put the editor.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
<style type="text/css">
html, body, form{ height: 100%;}
</style>
</head>
</head>
<body style="margin:0px">
    <form id="form1" runat="server" >
<CE:Editor ID="Editor1" runat="server"
                ConfigurationPath="~/cuteeditor.config"
                ActiveTab="View"
                ResizeMode="None"
                ShowWordCount="False"
                Height="100%" Width="100%">
            </CE:Editor>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

It doesn't work. Switching between the tabs make it even worse.

Can you please help me how make the editor look stretched?

Thanks!

Mike.

Hi Adam!

Thanks for help, but it doesn't work.

It makes the tab buttons go down out of the window so they are not visible anymore...

Any idea or example of this working?

Thanks!

Mikenas,

the problem you are reporting sounds very similar to what some of my users are experiencing. Some buttons are half-way off the screen. What makes this situation difficult to investigate is that no all my users are experiencing it. For some people the editor is maximized as expected but for other people the buttons at the bottom of the editor are almost completely off the screen (I posted a screenshot in my post, it would be interresting to know if your situation is similar).

I tested your code, change:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<%@ Page Language="C#" validateRequest="false" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="cutesoft" TagName="banner" Src="banner.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="cutesoft" TagName="leftmenu" Src="leftmenu.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="CE" Namespace="CuteEditor" Assembly="CuteEditor" %>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
<style type="text/css">
html, body, form{ height: 100%;}
</style>
</head>
</head>
<body style="margin:0px">
    <form id="form1" runat="server" >
<CE:Editor ID="Editor1" runat="server"
                ActiveTab="View"
                ShowWordCount="False"
                Height="88%" Width="88%">
            </CE:Editor>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

to:

<%@ Page Language="C#" validateRequest="false" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="CE" Namespace="CuteEditor" Assembly="CuteEditor" %>
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</head>
</head>
    <form id="form1" runat="server" >
<CE:Editor ID="Editor1" runat="server"
                ActiveTab="View"
                ShowWordCount="False"
                FullPage="True">
            </CE:Editor>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

html, body, form{ height: 100%;}

and

<body style="margin:0px">, these two styles setting lead to this issue.

Regards,

Eric

Eric,

I created a test page with exactly the HTML code you suggested in your last post

http://www.opcodeservices.com/TestWebApp/Default1.aspx

Switching the tabs makes the tab buttons go off window.

IE 8: works

For the following browsers however, the error appears as soon as you switch any tab

FireFox 3.6.8

Chrome 5.0.375.125

Stretching the editor is very important to me.

Thanks.

Hi Mikenas,

Another example

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<%@ Register Namespace="CuteEditor" Assembly="CuteEditor" TagPrefix="CE" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<script runat="server">
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
editor1.ResizeMode = CuteEditor.EditorResizeMode.AutoAdjust;
base.OnLoad(e);
}
</script>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
<title>Untitled Page</title>
<style type="text/css">
html, body, form{ height: 100%;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<CE:Editor ID="editor1" runat="server" Width="100%">
</CE:Editor>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
<script type="text/javascript">
setInterval("refreshTime()",500);
function refreshTime()
{
var editor=document.getElementById('<%= editor1.ClientID%>');
var h=editor.GetDocument().body.scrollHeight;
editor.style.height=document.body.scrollHeight-30+"px";
}
</script>

I don't understand.

Previously, Eric said FullPage should do it.

Now I see there is some tweaking code needed.

Isn't any official way to handle this?

Thanks

In that example, Editor.FullPage Property is set to true.

Hi Adam,

In my initial test, I was only using that property but it didn't work.

I used a simple example, just the control and the property set to true.

Here;s the page which contains a simple code:

http://www.opcodeservices.com/TestWebApp/FullSCreen.aspx

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<%@ Register Namespace="CuteEditor" Assembly="CuteEditor" TagPrefix="CE" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
     <title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
     <form id="form1" runat="server">
         <div>
             <CE:Editor ID="editor1" runat="server" FullPage="True"/>
         </div>
     </form>
</body>
</html>

Can you please post the exact HTML code from your FullScreen.aspx ?

Thank you.

This example source code can be found in http://richtextbox.com/test/CuteEditorTest.zip, after you download and unzip it, search "fullpage.aspx", you will find it.

You clearly have a bug in the FullPage feature.

I created another test page with the FullScreen.aspx from the demo.

http://www.opcodeservices.com/TestWebApp/FullScreen2.aspx

It seems like it works OK when using F12 during runtime.

However, it doesn't work if FullPage is set to true in code.

Please check the page.

Any ideas how to make this work?

Thanks!

There are side effects when setting FullPage in code.

When switching between the editor's tabs in FireFox, the editor's textbox changes in height.

I thought initially that the problem with FullPage property is only when setting it at design time.

I thought it works OK if you set it during run-time but I am wrong.

http://www.opcodeservices.com/TestWebApp/WebForm11.aspx

It's the same code from FullScreen example which comes with the demo

I only changed the event from the 'Show HTML' Button to make the editor go full screen.

As you can see, clicking the button makes the editor go full screen and work correctly in IE when resizing the window and switching tabs.

On Firefox and Chome however, it doesn't.

What's weird is that it starts working as soon as you do a switch by using F12.

So there's something in the code on pressing full screen shortcut which makes the editor work correctly.

I really need this done as soon as possible because I already lost incredibly a lot of time for this issue

I need to develop a proof of concept which proves your solution works in our scenario, in order to buy your solution.

THanks!
