tinyMCE: set padding of editor

Question

How do I set the padding inside the tinyMCE editor?

I've seen answers like so:

body{ padding:0px }

But it shouldn't be on the body??

Answer 1

Have look at the tinymce config param content_css. Using this param you may set your own css stuff and overwrite tinymcedefault css. You may apply the padding to whatever element you want (under body)

Answer 2

you could also try these methods:

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your HTML

  // set whatever class name you have that adds the padding
  body_class: 'my_class', 

  // or attach your own css file (resolved to http://domain/myLayout.css)
  content_css : '/myLayout.css',

  // or finally, add your padding directly
  content_style: "body {padding: 10px}"
});
