Resizable split screen divs using jquery UI
Question
I have a design in mind that involves a split panel view in html, similar to a winforms split panel. I've been expirimenting with jQuery UI - Resizable and I like the function, I just can't seem to co-ordinate the resizing of the two div s. The problem with the current code is that the two div s resize away from each other, not with one following the other. How can I make the two div s work together?
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/custom.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/superfish.css" media="screen">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/jquery-ui-1.8.10.custom.css" media="screen">
<script type="text/javascript" src="script/jquery-1.5.1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="script/superfish.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="script/jquery-ui-1.8.10.custom.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
// initialise plugins
$(function(){
try {
$('ul.sf-menu').superfish();
//set up divs
$('#Content').resizable({ handles: 'e', alsoResize: $('#Attributes')});
}catch(ex){
alert(ex.message);
}
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="Header">
<div id="Menu">
<ul class="sf-menu" id="nav">
<!-- Snip menu -->
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div id="Middle">
<div id="Content" class="ui-widget-content">This is where the view is.<br/>
Imagine an image here ...
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
</div>
<div id="Attributes" class="ui-widget-content">
<ul>
<li>A</li>
<li>B</li>
<li>C</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div id="FootBreak"/>
<div id="Footer">
<a href="#">Help</a>
</div>

I have worked out a reasonable hack, using the resize event.
<script type="text/javascript">
var WIDTH_ATTR = 'initWidth';
// initialise plugins
$(function(){
try {
$('#Content').resizable({ handles: 'e', resize: resizeAttr });
$('#Content').attr(WIDTH_ATTR, $('#Content').width());
$('#InfoPanel').attr(WIDTH_ATTR, $('#InfoPanel').width());
}catch(ex){
alert(ex.message);
}
});
function resizeAttr(event, ui){
var change = ui.size.width - $('#Content').attr(WIDTH_ATTR);
$('#InfoPanel').width($('#InfoPanel').attr(WIDTH_ATTR) - change);
};
</script>
I'm still open to cleaner answers from others...

I am not sure if this meets the requirements, but ExtJS handles split panes with ease and works cross-browser. For example, see this RSS feed client in ExtJS . Be aware the ExtJS has commercial licensing restrictions if your intent is to sell your product.

Here is an example with a horizontal split (one top div, one bottom div), maybe slightly more minimalistic:
HTML:
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="div1">1st</div>
<div id="div2">2nd</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS:
#div1, #div2 {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
right: 0;
outline: solid 1px #ccc; /* just for making the divs visible */
margin: 5px; /* just for making the divs visible */
}
#div1 {
height: 100px;
top: 0;
}
#div2 {
top: 110px;
bottom: 0;
}
JavaScript:
$('#div1').resizable({
handles: 's',
resize: resizeEventHandler
});
function resizeEventHandler(event, ui){
var new_height = ui.size.height;
$('#div2').css('top', new_height + 10);
}
