This software provides resizable, collapsible, and nested DIV-based panels for ASP.NET applications that can be customized in appearance and behavior. It supports MS ASP.NET AJAX and all major browsers, including quirks/strict modes.
You can create multiple resizable, collapsible, fixed-size, or auto-fill panels in a container with multiple levels of nested containers. The container resizes with the browser window, and you can even support full browser window height/width or IFRAME in a panel. The contents refresh live while resizing, and there are constraints such as min/max/step sizes that you can set.
To make it easy for users to grab thin splitters, oversized thumbs are available. The splitter buttons appear only on mouse-over, which is a nice touch. Panel states and positions of splitter bars and scrollbars persist across postbacks, and there is even a server-side event for panel state change.
Customization options include CSS, themes, and object properties. You can also adjust margins, borders, padding, background color, and other appearances such as splitter bar thickness, thumb image, and mouse-over cursor. ASP.NET 2.0 Themes are supported, as well as Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX. With a customized UpdatePanel, you can achieve better programmatic access and design-time support. Panel state and size can be updated via AJAX postback, even if the panel is not an UpdatePanel.
Selected panel properties are accessible with JavaScript, and there are client-side events for panel resize or state change. Panels and their contents can be created dynamically at run-time, and panel sequences can be rearranged. Visual Studio 2005 offers excellent design-time support, with drag-and-drop functionality for server controls, and you can edit contents visually like the default .NET Panel class.
Overall, Zee WebSplitter is an outstanding tool that supports all major browsers, with various modes (quirks/strict).
