Resize now works, cropper is effectively done. 30-40% less code over original pre-jquery version, mostly through refactoring. Please use FF to trial. Does not work in IE (yet) because I can't get the height of the original image (ie. height:auto) for some calculations.

If checkout, add jquery.js, and then load "testing/static.html" file you will start seeing the action (although you can only resize the top-left corner at the moment). The static.html file also demonstrates the proposed HTML elements.

The cropper behaving nicer. The movement is not as crisp as I'd like, will review later, I think my jQuery event-binding skills are dodgy. I might have to learn what to do rather than blindly coppy Steven Witten's code.

Eyedrop will be a plugin to jQuery that will allow admins to "edit" images using a visual interface. The code is not complete, needs optimizing. The goal is to integrate eyedrop with imagecache as one way to callback image changes.

For some idea how this started, please click the clown:

The jQuery integrate is going OK, but the goal will be to have a clean plugin that can also be further extended by "editing actions" like cropping and darken/lighten.
