I am trying to create a product with two custom text fields: Length and Width. When the user types in both a length and width, the price needs to calculate via custom formula.
I'm trying to find the correct event to connect an observer to – anybody know what that might be?
Here's what I know and have tried
1) the custom field text box in the product view has an onchange event that I haven't figured out how to tap into yet via an observer event – "opConfig.reloadPrice()
2) If I build an observer on the event sales_quote_add_item, then I can change the price via formula when it's added to the cart. With this method I still need a way to change it in the product view before it's added to cart.
3) I've also tried the event catalog_product_get_final_price but this seem to only fire when the product page is loaded, so after a product length or width is added, it doesn't re-fire.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I used for this usecase
sales_quote_collect_totals_before
:On the client side, you can just use a few lines of JS to update the price?
