# Rich Text Editor: Editor Auto Adjusting Height

Using the autoHeight config to make the Editor change it's height based on the content.

View example in new window.

This is some more test text.<br>This is some more test text.<br>This is some more test text.<br>This is some more test text.<br>This is some more test text.<br>This is some more test text.<br>This is some more test text.<br> This is some more test text.<br>This is some more test text.<br>This is some more test text.<br>This is some more test text.<br>This is some more test text.<br>This is some more test text.<br>This is some more test text.<br>

## Setting up the Editors HTML

Setting up the Editor's HTML is done by creating a `textarea` control on the page.

<button type="button" id="toggleEditor">Toggle Editor</button> <form method="post" action="#" id="form1"> <textarea id="editor" name="editor" rows="20" cols="75"> This is some more test text.<br>This is some more test text.<br>This is some more test text.<br> This is some more test text.<br>This is some more test text.<br>This is some more test text. </textarea> </form>

## Setting up the Editors Javascript

Once the `textarea` is on the page, then initialize the Editor like this:

(function() { //Setup some private variables var Dom = YAHOO.util.Dom, Event = YAHOO.util.Event; //The Editor config var myConfig = { height: '300px', width: '600px', animate: true, dompath: true, focusAtStart: true }; //Now let's load the Editor.. var myEditor = new YAHOO.widget.Editor('editor', myConfig); myEditor.render(); })();

## Using the config option autoHeight

The Editor will now grow and shrink in height to match the content inside. It will never shrink smaller than the current height config option.

(function() { //Setup some private variables var Dom = YAHOO.util.Dom, Event = YAHOO.util.Event; //The Editor config var myConfig = { height: '300px', width: '600px', animate: true, dompath: true, focusAtStart: true, autoHeight: true }; //Now let's load the Editor.. var myEditor = new YAHOO.widget.Editor('editor', myConfig); myEditor.render(); })();
