# Option: height

This option gives you the ability to specify the height of the editor in pixels or percent. This height can be very userful to specify if the editor is used in hidden tabs or if the editor area should be bigger than the replaced element. The default value of this option is set to the height of the HTML element TinyMCE replaces for example the pixel height of a textarea.

### Example of usage of the height option:

    tinyMCE.init({
        ...
        height : "480"
    });
