Please do the following steps when you open this test page:

Click the "Show current splitter client state" button. You will get an alert message that tells you the expected value.
Click the "Show current splitbar client state" button. You will get an alert message that tells you the expected value.
Click "Left menu 1". The middle pane is collapsed. "Server side state" will tell you the server-side value.
Do step1 and step2 again to check the client side value. You will get all expected values as well. So far so good...
Click "Left menu 3". The middle pane is expanded. "Server side state" will tell you the server-side value.
Click the "Show current splitter client state" button to check the client side values. You will get WRONG value from for the middle pane collpase value (it's true, which it should be false).
Click the "Show current splitbar client state" button. You will get the expected value (false) of the middle pane's collapse status.
You will also see the values from "Server side state" are right.
Now you will be failed to collapse the middle pane.

Therefore, I doubt if the client side function "pane.get_collapsed()" doesn't work well. Becasue of the wrong status of the middle pane, you cannot collpase it.

Any comments will be helpful.

RadSplitter_GetCollapsed.zip

Hello Alan,
I tried to reproduce the problem you describe, but to no avail - please find my test page attached. I tested with the latest version of the suite, namely version 2008.1.619.20.

Could you please prepare and send us a simple running project, demonstrating the problem you describe? Once we are able to reproduce the problem locally, we will do our best to help you get the desired result.

Sincerely yours,
Tsvetie

sorry for replying you late, i just cannot remember my registered email, i think i might type the wrong email address incautiously. I just re-registered a new account.

I've downloaded the latest version and that fixed the bug (the one i got the issue was 2008.1.4xxxx), thanks.

However, i do noticed the splitter rends out a new <div> to wrap the splitter control when i call it from ajax manager, e.g.



    
    
        
            <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="leftMenu">  
        
        
              <UpdatedControls> 
        
        
                <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="rspSplitter" /> 
        
        
              </UpdatedControls> 
        
        
            </telerik:AjaxSetting> 
        
    




and then rends out



"<div id="ctl00_ctl00_rspSplitterPanel">"

that actually breaks our entire layout. I believe one of my colleagues will rasie a new post for the details.

Thanks for your reply. I'm afraid this is not the answer to this issue. Let's have a look the difference between my code and DOM inspector.

In my code:
AjaxManager

    
            <telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="MasterAjaxManager" runat="server">  
        
              <AjaxSettings> 
        
                <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="leftMenu">  
        
                  <UpdatedControls> 
        
                    <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="splitter" />

              </AjaxSettings> 
        
            </telerik:RadAjaxManager>

Splitter

    
            <telerik:RadSplitter ID="splitter" CssClass="class1" runat="server">  
        
              <telerik:RadPane ID="leftMenuPane" runat="server" BackColor="AliceBlue">  
        
                <asp:Button ID="leftMenu" Text="Left menu" runat="server" /><br /> 
        
              </telerik:RadPane> 
        
              <telerik:RadSplitBar ID="splitBar" runat="server" /> 
        
              <telerik:RadPane ID="contentPane" runat="server" /> 
        
            </telerik:RadSplitter>

In DOM inspector (i didnt use server-side control prefix for keeping the id short in the example)
Scenario 1: NOT updating the splitter from ajaxmanager that renders out:

    
            <html> 
        
              <head /> 
        
              <body> 
        
                <form id="form1" runat="server">  
        
                  <div id='splitter' class='class1'>  
        
                    ...  
        
                  </div> 
        
                </form> 
        
              </body> 
        
            </html>

Scenario 2: updating the splitter from ajaxmanager that renders out:

    
            <html> 
        
              <head /> 
        
              <body> 
        
                <form id="form1" runat="server">  
        
    <div id='splitterPanel'>  

                    <div id='splitter' class='class1'>  
        
                      ...  
        
                    </div> 
        
    </div> 

                </form> 
        
              </body> 
        
            </html>

Please notice the extra <div> rendered from splitter. That's the reason causing the problem.

For example, you define the height to 100% in html, head, body, form and the class1, that works perfect in scenario1 and that works ok in IE in scenario2, i think that becasue even you dont define height in the parent div, IE will still inherit the value, 100%, from parent's parent (which is form in this example), but firefox and other browsers dont do that way.

Hi Alan,

You can find out the ClientID of the AJAX panel's <div> element and apply a height:100% style to it like this:

RadAjaxManager

    
            <telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="MasterAjaxManager" runat="server" 
        
              OnAjaxSettingCreated="MasterAjaxManager_AjaxSettingCreated">   
        
              <AjaxSettings>  
        
                <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="leftMenu"> 
        
                  <UpdatedControls>  
        
                    <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="splitter" />  
        
                  </UpdatedControls>  
        
                </telerik:AjaxSetting>  
        
              </AjaxSettings>  
        
            </telerik:RadAjaxManager>

    
            protected string UpdatePanelClientID; 
        
            protected void MasterAjaxManager_AjaxSettingCreated(object sender, AjaxSettingCreatedEventArgs e) 
        
            { 
        
                if (e.Initiator.ID == "leftMenu") 
        
                { 
        
                    this.UpdatePanelClientID = e.UpdatePanel.ClientID; 
        
                } 
        
            }

CSS in the page <head>

    
            <head runat="server">   
        
            <telerik:RadCodeBlock ID="RadCodeBlock1" runat="server"> 
        
            <style type="text/css"> 
        
                #<%= UpdatePanelClientID %>{height:100%;} 
        
            </style> 
        
            </telerik:RadCodeBlock> 
        
            </head>

Hi Michael,

Please find attached a sample web page, which demonstrates how to implement a workaround for the RadSplitter HeightOffset issue when applying height to the update panel.

Let us know if you need more information.
