Resize image which uses Jcrop

Question

I use the Jquery Jcrop for cropping my images. Now I'm implementing a slider for resizing the image. I want the cropping and resizing to happend on the same page.

I do it like this:

$(document).ready(function() {


    var img = $('#cropbox')[0]; // Get my img elem
    var orgwidth, orgheight;
    $("<img/>") // Make in memory copy of image to avoid css issues
        .attr("src", $(img).attr("src"))
        .load(function() {
            orgwidth = this.width;   // Note: $(this).width() will not
            orgheight = this.height; // work for in memory images.
        });

    $('#cropbox').Jcrop({
        onSelect: updateCoords
    });

    $("#imageslider").slider({
        value: 100,
        max: 100,
        min: 1,
        slide: function(event, ui) {
            //$('ul#grid li').css('font-size',ui.value+"px");
            resizeImage(orgwidth, orgheight);
        }
    });

});

And my simple resizeImage function:

function resizeImage(orgwidth, orgheight) {
    var value = $('#imageslider').slider('option', 'value');
    var width = orgwidth * (value / 100);
    var height = orgheight * (value / 100);
    $('#cropbox').width(width);
    $('#cropbox').height(height);
    $('#tester').val("org: "+orgwidth+" now: "+width);
}

The problem is that, as soon I turn on Jcrop I can't resize the image. How can I use both these functions at the same time?

Answer 1

I ended up destroying the jCrop while resizing and putting it back on after resize. Thanks anyway. Code:

        function resizeImage(orgwidth, orgheight) {
        jcrop_api.destroy();

        var value = $('#imageslider').slider('option', 'value');
        var width = orgwidth * (value / 100);
        var height = orgheight * (value / 100);
        $('#cropbox').width(width);
        $('#cropbox').height(height);
        $('#rw').val(width);
        $('#rh').val(height);

        initJcrop();

    }
