Increase message area

[mqcarpenter]

I would like to increase the message area in the live chat window. It looks like it defaults to 2 rows, but when I change this section:


<form name="chat" id="chat">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="chat">
<input type="button" id="send" name="send" value="Send" onClick="do_submit(1);">
<textarea name="message" class="input_txt" cols="40" rows="4" onKeyup="is_typing(event);" wrap="virtual"></textarea>
</form>

...to four rows, it does nothing. Where can I change the message area to show more space for the operator?

You need to alter the class file, specifically the input_txt class. be aware though that your message box may not be fully on the screen if you do this.

Excellent. It would help to reduce the size of the visitor list frame at the top. Where is that done? Is it scrollable? thx

If you are talking about the admin side I would not recommend making to many changes. The CSS ties everything together and positionas everything exactly to the pixel. Making any modification would probably mess other settings up. But you are free to try.

I can not figure out which part is controlling the top "visitors" section. Forcing a height on the visitors div id is not working. It is more dangerous to change things blindly. If you could tell me what is controlling the height of that frame, it would help please.

Most likely you are changing the right thing but your cache is keeping the size the same. We dont really help with these types of mods but if you paste the line here we can tell you if its correct.
