Any help, changing this please.

The distance , I wish to set a specific margin from the outer table, and a fixed width, as it looks unsightly.

I don't believe you can, the WYSIWYG editor has a specific size in pixels, so you'd have to shrink the outer table down - and then you'd have an "unsightly" area there anyway.

Besides, what if your screen is a different size than someone else's screen? Say you have a standard 4:3 monitor and one of your users has a newer 16:9... Or vice versa? Don't you think it would look terrible to one of your or the other?

I was thinking of Padding in from outer table by say 20px

Then having the wysiwyg panel, expand based on fluid expansion.

Perhaps I am not totally with it.

Example you shrink a the webpage window when answering a response, you will indeed notice the main text area of the wysiwyg editor, is approx 150px in from the outer table, and doesnt expand or contract, so its a fixed width.

If you have a fixed width forum page, that doesnt contract beyond x limit, and doesnt expand beyond x limit, then the only change is the margin padding on LHS of the wysiwyg editor.

The WYSIWIG editor cannot be fluid (that's just the way it is, AFAIK). Most likely, it is cross-browser support issues. IE would probably go funky with that kind of stuff.

The wysiwyg editor as far as i can see is contained with a larger table.

The reply to thread table.

The editor afaik consists of main text area post icon area title field and thats it, so it must be a table within a table.

As the main reply to thread table indeed is expandable and collapsible as you stretch and contort the page, the wysiwyg editor indeed is fixed size.

That I dont want to change.

What I want to change is the margin difference between the 2 tables.

Ok think...... I have found the issue.

I am using postbit_legacy and our emoticons/smileys are positioned to the right of our editor.

I think all i need to do is whack them underneath the textarea window.

So now how do i do that LOL !
