Yahoo.widget.Editor - How to configure font size of text

I am using the YUI Rich Text Editor (YAHOO.widget.Editor), and I got it working fine, except for one thing. I cannot figure out how to configure the font size of the text that I type in the editor box (input type="textarea"). I want that text to be 150%. I know that I need a CSS rule of the form:

some-YUI-related-selector {
  font-size: 150%; 
}

but I cannot figure out the identity of "some-YUI-related-selector".

I'd appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks, Jay

More information:

I want my web to display large fonts, so I used a CSS style for the div in question as follows:

div.newsform {
  font-size:120%;
}

div.newsform input {   
  font-size:120%;
}
input#newsgoals {
  font-size:150%;
}

The HTML page snippet in question is:

<div class="newsform">
  <p>Some text</p>
  <form>
    <input type="text" name="sname"  style="width:353px"/>
    <input type="textarea" id="newsgoals" name="newsgoals" ></input><br/>
    <input type="submit" value="Add" />
  </form>
</div>

I bind the YUI Editor in a Javascript snippet at the bottom of the web page as follows:

<script>
var myNewSEditor = new YAHOO.widget.Editor('newsgoals', {
    height: '300px',
    width: '440px',
    dompath: false,
    animate: true,
    css: YAHOO.widget.SimpleEditor.prototype._defaultCSS, // + 'html { font-size:130%; }',
// { css: YAHOO.widget.SimpleEditor.prototype._de开发者_JAVA技巧faultCSS + 'ADD MYY CSS HERE' }
    toolbar: {
        titlebar: 'Write Your Goals Here',
        buttons: [
            { group: 'textstyle', // label: 'Font Style',
                buttons: [
                { type: 'push', label: 'Bold', value: 'bold' },
                { type: 'push', label: 'Italic', value: 'italic' },
                { type: 'push', label: 'Underline', value: 'underline' },
                { type: 'separator' },
                { type: 'select', label: 'Arial', value: 'fontname', disabled: true,
                    menu: [
                        { text: 'Arial', checked: true },
                        { text: 'Arial Black' },
                        { text: 'Comic Sans MS' },
                        { text: 'Courier New' },
                        { text: 'Lucida Console' },
                        { text: 'Tahoma' },
                        { text: 'Times New Roman' },
                        { text: 'Trebuchet MS' },
                        { text: 'Verdana' }
                    ]
                },
                { type: 'spin', label: '22', value: 'fontsize', range: [ 9, 75 ], disabled: true },
                { type: 'separator' },
                { type: 'color', label: 'Font Color', value: 'forecolor', disabled: true },

                { type: 'push', label: 'HTML Link CTRL + SHIFT + L', value: 'createlink', disabled: true }
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
});
myNewSEditor.render();


</script>

The everything inside the div (class="newsform") renders the fonts at 120% large except the YUI Editor, which continues to render very small. If I used the web page without the YUI editor, the text area (input#newsgoals) renders properly at 150%.

I was able to configure colours and font sizes in the tool bar of the YUI Editor, but not in the text area box.

I even tried configuring the 'css:" attribute in the toolbar and then adding my CSS rule to _defaultCSS (as per the YUI Editor documents), but it didn't work.

Jay,

Dav Glass, the author of this component, provides great help to his users over at the YUI Library forums: http://yuilibrary.com/forum/

If you don't get an answer here, definitely try posting over there.

Woohoo! Thanks Eric Miraglia. The pointer to Dav Glass' forum got me where I needed to go.

For some reason, I had found the css: configuration parameter which was correct, but I had done something else wrong and that caused it to fail. The correct answer is to put the following line where I have the css: when I call "new Yahoo.widget.Editor()" :

css: YAHOO.widget.SimpleEditor.prototype._defaultCSS  + 'body { font-size:130%; background-color:red;color:white;}'

That was enough to get the font-size and editor background changed to what I want.
