Since it is a textarea , I tried cols="50" in html attribute but it does not work.

Also , I found the answer from the previous question . He said I can do this by adding. CKEDITOR.instances.myinstance.resize(1000, 900); However , the size still has not changed.

Here is the code I attempted, thank you.

try following

To achieve this, use the resize function to define the dimensions of the editor interface, assigning the window a width and height value in pixels or CSS-accepted units.

// Set editor width to 100% and height to 350px.
editor.resize( '100%', '350' )

While setting the height value, use the isContentHeight parameter to decide whether the value applies to the whole editor interface or just the editing area.

// The height value now applies to the editing area.
editor.resize( '100%', '350', true )
