Hello!
I'm using Jcrop to select cordinates to crop a image. The user selects a image, it is shown and then the user selects on the preview where they want to crop. This workes perfectly in a simple .html and on a previous laravel project (blade). Only difference is how I import the js and css, but still the exact same code and files.
However the moment I use .volt then Jcrop refuses to work on the preview. The preview is shown, but I can't drag across it. Note that Jcrop works perfectly if I select a file on the server, for example point to a forest.jpg image (in the public folder). It just refuses to work on preview pictures. I don't want to have to upload the image to crop it, I want to crop based on the preview.
To clarify, in volt:
in html:
The Controller function is empty, so all that is shown is the view.
Picture.volt

            },3000);
        };
    };
    // read selected file as DataURL
    oReader.readAsDataURL(oFile);
}
Why won't it work in volt? I've tried with simpler code and it refuses to execute the Jcrop declaration inside the Timeout function...
Thank you!!!
