If you can read this text, it means you are not experiencing the Plone design at its best. Plone makes heavy use of CSS, which means it is accessible to any internet browser, but the design needs a standards-compliant browser to look like we intended it. Just so you know ;)

In this example, additionally the height and width were specified: 

  htmlArea_editor(name, 'simple', height=100, width=50)

(surrounding dtml-var tag omitted for clarity). You may use integer or string values. Integers are always taken for px, as for the height; for the width, integer values <= 100 are taken for a percentage. Thus, this text control is 50% wide.

Of course you can use string values as well, e.g. '50px' or '90%'.
