Andy:
have those static settings be variables. Get the h and w of your image

Another great update – many thanks!

One quick question, though… The aspectRatio setting sets the select to be a ratio of the image size and resizes the cropping area proportionally to that, and that makes sense. However, what I’d like to see is the option to set the crop size and then be able to resize that proportionally, regardless of what the image size is. Is there a way to do that currently that I’m missing?

Your continued hard work on this great cropping interface is much appreciated!

Originally I’d been using the *attribute: value method of hacking CSS rules for IE to correct these visual display issues. Ironically, that’s what was preventing it from working in IE8 “standards mode” (it still needed the same CSS fixes, it just properly discards those CSS rules now). So, my solution was to add in the CSS fixes dynamically from Javascript. I’d noticed the problem you’re trying to fix in IE8 but didn’t attempt to fix it yet. I’ll see if I can add in some on-the-fly CSS fixes in the code similar to the CSS you’ve quoted above. Thanks again for all your help!

Correct me if im wrong but looks like you need to tweak your css for ie

.jcrop-vline, .jcrop-hline
{
font-size: 0;
position: absolute;
background: white url(‘Jcrop.gif’) top left repeat;
padding-top:1px;
}

The padding allows your border all the way around

Opera 9.64
Opera 10.00 alpha

Both seem to render fine. That concludes my browser testing.

Todd, thanks a lot for checking those out. That really helps since I don’t have all those browsers right at my disposal. Glad to hear we’re still rockin’!

So in my testing I’ve found that it is working, I haven’t been able to test in opera yet but the following work fine:

Chrome 2.0.172.6
Fire Fox 2.0.0.12
IE 8.0.6001.18702 (both in standards and compatibility)
Safari 4.528.16
