 * As you type the units to resize one dimension of an image, it would be great 
   if the other dimension was dynamically calculated and displayed. Not a huge deal–
   it would just be a little helpful. Otherwise, incredibly useful plugin. Thank
   you.

 * Sounds good and should be simple to implement. Thanks for the suggestion!

 * I’m sure you could do this more elegantly, but I hacked together a solution:
 * Line 768 scissors.php
 * `$resizeValue = "<input style='width:3em;text-align:center;' type='text' id='
   scissorsSide-$postId' value='640' onkeyup=\"scissorsCalcResize($postId)\" />";`
 * New Function in scissors.js
 * function scissorsCalcResize(id) {
    var resizeDim = Number(jQuery(‘#scissorsSide-‘
   +id).val()); var dimensions = jQuery(‘#scissorsSize-‘+id).html().split(‘ × ‘);
   var width = Number(dimensions[0]); var height = Number(dimensions[1]); var resizeMode
   = jQuery(‘#scissorsMode-‘+id).val();
 *  if (resizeMode!=’width’ && resizeMode!=’height’) {
    var longSide = ‘width’; 
   var shortSide = ‘height’; if (width<height) { longSide = ‘height’; shortSide 
   = ‘width’; } if (resizeMode==’long’) { resizeMode = longSide; }else { resizeMode
   = shortSide; } }
 *  if (resizeMode==’width’) {
    height = Math.floor((resizeDim/width)*height); width
   = resizeDim; } else { width = Math.floor((resizeDim/height)*width); height = 
   resizeDim; }
 *  if (jQuery(‘#newSizes-‘+id).length==0) {
    jQuery(‘#scissorsSize-‘+id).after(‘
   <span id=”newSizes-‘+id+'”></span>’); } jQuery(‘#newSizes-‘+id).html(‘ **Calculated
   Size: **‘+width+’ x ‘+height); }

 * Implemented and part of the new development version (find it under ‘other versions’).
   Please test it and if you’re satisfied mark this thread as resolved. Thanks!
