The message height option only works if you select either "ELCode" or "plain" for encoding (this can also be made as default in the config file). For the HTML editor, the size is set internally and I don't have any influenc on it.

I tried with Message Height = 100 inside the conifguration of my logbook, but nothing changed as you can see in the first picture...

What I'm looking for is a way, if possible, to start by default with a wider message box, someting like fig2. For our purpose, using wide tables, it would be very useful to have a wider message box in order to have a full look to the message content, and also having it by default without modifying it by hand with the mouse every time we submit something to elog.

Hi,

I wonder if it is possible to set a minimum default value for the height of the text box when submitting new entries. If I understood well, by default the text box height automatically resizes in order that all the elements of the page are visible. Actually for our needs having a minimum height of the text box fixed (for instance 500px)  is by far more useful of viewing the attachment box (we know it is down scrolling the page :) ). We know it is possible to resize the text box using the mouse but doing this every time one creates a new entry can be annoying. Setting a default minimum size would be more confortable. Is it possible to do this?

 

Thank you 

Beppe
