Springload no longer maintains this plugin. It's now part of the standard TinyMCE distribution and is maintained by the TinyMCE team. Please download it from the official site and send any bug/feature requests to the TinyMCE team directly Wed, 04 May 2011 11:53:35 +1200 http://www.springload.co.nz/love-the-web/tinymce-plugin-release-auto-resize#comment534 In IE8 the following problem occurs with auto_resize plugin in place and a lot of text: High lighted text can not be colored or background colored. Bold and italic are fine. It occurs when I need to scroll up towards the editor's menu bar and the high lighted text moves "below" the bottom of the Thu, 31 Dec 2009 04:29:22 +1300 http://www.springload.co.nz/love-the-web/tinymce-plugin-release-auto-resize#comment510 @Jim: One issue that I found was that when the window gets really tall, on a small screen (a laptop, etc..) the toolbar is inconveniently far away. For example if you need to insert an image, you'd place the caret in the text, and then scroll waaaaaay back to the toolbar - not the best configurat Wed, 02 Dec 2009 21:36:26 +1300 http://www.springload.co.nz/love-the-web/tinymce-plugin-release-auto-resize#comment509 @Jon Glick: If you're initializing TinyMCE in a hidden tab, as an alternative to display:none, you can hide your tabs with: position: absolute; left: -10000px; This will hide your tab content and still allow TinyMCE to calculate the dimentions, etc...

I'm editing text that can get really huge, and I love to have the window expand up to a certain point but no further. JimB.

I believe it has to do with tinyMCE being instantiated on a text area that is hidden (or within an element which is hidden). Any help would be appreciated thanks, John.

Cheers, Thomas Wed, 21 Oct 2009 03:11:45 +1300 http://www.springload.co.nz/love-the-web/tinymce-plugin-release-auto-resize#comment470 Hi, Thanks for a useful plugin! I've got one strange problem, though. I use jQuery's AjaxForm to submit the data in the editor, with tinyMCE.triggerSave to sync the editor's contents down to the actual textarea before submitting. If the user expands the editor area using Safari, the ajax submi Wed, 21 Oct 2009 02:43:06 +1300 http://www.springload.co.nz/love-the-web/tinymce-plugin-release-auto-resize#comment456 Hey, First of all, a very nice and usefull plugin. I do have a problem though. With my setup of TinyMCE I load the contents with Ajax, so TinyMCE will not be reloaded or anything. When I type a lot of content, and the resize plugin does its job correctly. But when I then load diffrent con Thu, 08 Oct 2009 13:13:46 +1300 http://www.springload.co.nz/love-the-web/tinymce-plugin-release-auto-resize#comment450 Hoi homer, you can fix the gray spaces issue adding this lines var tble = DOM.get(ed.id + '_tbl'); tble.style.height = 'auto'; in ed.addCommand('mceAutoResize',..) function Regards, Adil Wed, 23 Sep 2009 22:00:36 +1200 http://www.springload.co.nz/love-the-web/tinymce-plugin-release-auto-resize#comment446 Hi, I have the same problem of Dave and Florian. I have an other question, is there same plan to support this plugin in Safari 4? Many thanx..

I'd like to have tinymce toolbar top AND bottom with long texts. have anybody an idea how to make such a trick ? Fri, 01 Jan 2010 05:26:12 +1300 http://www.springload.co.nz/love-the-web/tinymce-plugin-release-auto-resize#comment558 The autoresize plugin doesn't work correctly with IE 6 or IE 8. It adjusts a small amount but displays scrollbars. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix? Tue, 02 Feb 2010 06:06:13 +1300 http://www.springload.co.nz/love-the-web/tinymce-plugin-release-auto-resize#comment889 the autoresizer sets overflow-y:hidden to do it's calculations but never resets it to overflow-y:auto. Where/How in my tinyMCE init can I specify a callback after the autoresizer is done?

It only works for increasing height. Can you also make it to decrease automatically? Thanks. Thu, 28 Apr 2011 19:28:29 +1200 http://www.springload.co.nz/love-the-web/tinymce-plugin-release-auto-resize#comment872 Hello, sadly, this plugin somehow deactivates the autofocus on the editor. Does anyone know, how i can get autofocus working again without removing the plugin? :) Thanks!

I need someone to help me to create a plugin for tinyMce to upload and/or select images. It is similar to plugin advimage included into tinyMce, but with different fields. What I would need is exactly according to this image: http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/4006/pluginv.jp Thu, 17 Mar 2011 05:04:31 +1300 http://www.springload.co.nz/love-the-web/tinymce-plugin-release-auto-resize#comment844 Thanks a ton for this plug-in! I didn't try the official TinyMCE autoresize thing, so I can't tell if there's a difference but this worked great. Sun, 06 Mar 2011 18:11:18 +1300 http://www.springload.co.nz/love-the-web/tinymce-plugin-release-auto-resize#comment819 What's the current status of this plugin? TinyMCE ships with an "autoresize" plugin, that shares a lot of code with what's in autoresize-1.2.zip here, but things like the iframe onload handler aren't in TinyMCE repository. So is autoresize-1.2 newer? To deploy, do I replace my existing tiny_mce Thu, 20 Jan 2011 12:15:21 +1300 http://www.springload.co.nz/love-the-web/tinymce-plugin-release-auto-resize#comment757 Typing was pretty slow with the autoresize enabled. I commented-out the onKeyUp event, and it's much faster now. I'm not sure why onKeyUp was necessary since it still resizes as I'm typing (probably from the onChange event). Other than that, this plugin is outstanding. Thank you!

I'm developing an app and I'm using tynimce too, I also have the scrolling problem so I tried to use your plugin but its not working. I'm pretty new to tinymce so I don't know if its not working because I'm not using a browser or if its because I have a wrong config or something else :S.

I really like the autoresize but how do I make it not show gray borders on top and bottom if there is less than 3 lines of text? I really need to be able to have it clear white with only 1 line of text. http://screencast.com/t/SuRAReGherU great addition, thanks again :) D.

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 16:30:45 +1200 http://www.springload.co.nz/love-the-web/tinymce-plugin-release-auto-resize#comment374 Hey.. This is really cool. It solved most of my problems with the auto resize feature in TinyMCE. Earlier I was using the mehod given on TinyMCE wiki. I also use TinyMCE in read-only mode. So, on slower connections many a times I face a problem that complete content in the editor is not visible.

But under Google Chrome there are everytime many blank lines (really too much) at the end of the text. It doesn't occur with 1.1. Hope it can help.

The bug occurs when loading TinyMCE over a slower connection, as when the editor's CSS loads, the content area resizes. We're looking at adding a listener to the CSS onload event. Peter Mon, 25 May 2009 09:28:03 +1200 http://www.springload.co.nz/love-the-web/tinymce-plugin-release-auto-resize#comment363 Thank you very much in giving us this useful plugin! For the moment I didn't meet the described bug. Do you know when it will be fix ?

The following fix that you have provided in version 1.2 doesn't seem to work for me in IE6 :( "Also added an onload handler to the iframe, so that the area resizes after all of the iframe's content has loaded."

I am using the bundled version of the plugin. The problem is that the editor grows according to the content, but doesn't shrink when content is deleted. Any ideas? Thu, 09 Jul 2009 12:05:38 +1200 http://www.springload.co.nz/love-the-web/tinymce-plugin-release-auto-resize#comment404 I found another small bug in Firefox. It does not resize to compensate for elements that are positioned absolute. I have a plugin which adds images but the images are positioned absolute so you can drag them around. When adding an image that is positioned absolute the content area does not resize fo Tue, 07 Jul 2009 11:04:11 +1200 http://www.springload.co.nz/love-the-web/tinymce-plugin-release-auto-resize#comment395 Hi Jon, Haven't had a chance to properly debug this either, but I do know that the main TinyMCE development team have a few changes for the plugin. There's a marginal chance that they will solve the problem. Will report when I've had a chance to have a proper look. Cheers, Peter Wed, 24 Jun 2009 10:25:43 +1200 http://www.springload.co.nz/love-the-web/tinymce-plugin-release-auto-resize#comment394 I haven't had a chance to look into it yet, but does anyone know why Safari 4 makes the TinyMCE height really tall?

I have a situation where tinyMCE initializes in a hidden div and I'm having trouble getting it to resize correctly once shown. I've been using: tinyMCE.get().execCommand('mceAutoResize'); to trigger the resize once the div is shown, but sometimes Thu, 04 Jun 2009 12:22:24 +1200 http://www.springload.co.nz/love-the-web/tinymce-plugin-release-auto-resize#comment378 Thanks everybody for the valuable feedback. We'll try and look into these issues. This plugin will also be part of the official TinyMCE distribution as of its next release. We'll keep you updated. Cheers, Peter Fri, 29 May 2009 10:06:00 +1200 http://www.springload.co.nz/love-the-web/tinymce-plugin-release-auto-resize#comment354 It seems we have uncovered a small bug! Every now and then the editor will become really long on load, way too long. Once you click into it and type, it will resize correctly, but the initial size on page load is off sometimes. Will post back when there's a fix! Fri, 08 May 2009 09:39:13 +1200
