I'm in the process of making a new theme from scratch, and hit on a problem with the HTML editor...see screen-shot below...

As you can see the text editor hangs over the right edge of the page making it necessary to have to scroll right to view the whole of the editor.

I've noticed this happen in a number of themes. Is this peculiar to the editor...or is it a design fault with the theme?

If it's the latter...which CSS element will I have to change to make the editor smaller?

Many thanks in advance...Mary sorriso

The editor extends as much as it can and judging by the empty space on the right side of the toolbar the form in your theme allows it to extend. Try reducing the width of the form. In any case the minimum width is the width of the editor toolbar. If you want the editor width to be smaller than the toolbar you can set the width of .htmlarea to the desired, and set overflow .htmlarea .toolbar to auto. This will make the toolbar scrollable. Hope this helps. sorriso

Alternatively you can set the toolbar to display in multiple lines depending on the width you assign to the htmlarea:

.htmlarea{width:400px;}
.htmlarea .toolbar table td{display:inline-block;}

Your solutions worked, and in the process of finding and altering the relevant bits of CSS I found out quite a bit about the form setting and such and managed to change some items which have annoyed me for a long time!

So thanks for that too!!!
