I can not get the Splitter to size itself correctly in IE7. It shrinks its height so that only the scrollbars are visible.

I've experienced this problem before with the pre-Prometheus version and had to set Height="100%" on all tables and divs from the Splitter all the way through the HTML hierarchy back up to the body tag. I've tried the same thing this time and it has not resolved the problem. I've even replace the Microsoft AJAX panel with the Telerik AJAX panel because it allows me to set Height="100%" on it.

What is the purpose of the ResizeWithParentPane and ResizeWithBrowserWindow properties? I've tried setting them individually to true and false and that does not resolve the issue either.

The Splitter renders correctly on IE6.

Any suggestions?

Thank you,
Terry

Hi terrysmith,

If the height is set to be 100% to all parent elements you should not experience this problem with RadSplitter. For example if your splitter is placed directly into the <body> you can use this CSS put in the <head> tag:

    <style type="text/css"
    BODY, HTML { height: 100%; width: 100%; margin0px; } 
    </style> 

I have prepared one sample project with RadSplitter set to 100% height and width, that works fine with IE7. Nevertheless if the issue still persists I encourage you to build sample runnable project with your specific scenario and send it to us. Then we will be able to reproduce and fix issue.

ResizeWithParentPane sets or gets whether the splitter will resize when the parent pane is resized,
ResizeWithBrowserWindow sets or gets whether the splitter will be resized when the browser window is resized, as the values should be in percents.

Kind regards,

I greatly appreciate your help. However, I think there is something very wrong with the design of the RadSplitter and how it behaves in IE7. I have spent hours and hours checking and double-checking and adding "height: 100%;" to everything possible, and it has not resolved the issue. Due to the complexities of our application (master pages, web parts, etc.) and tightness of our schedule I'm unable to get a sample project to you.

Today, I decided to take the RadSplitter out of our application. If the resize problems with the control can be fixed we would love to put the control back in the future.

Thank you for your help though,
Terry

Hello Keith Henkel,
I am really sorry that the RadSplitter control did not meet your expectations. Unfortunately, as we have no problems with the height of the RadSplitter in IE7, we will really need your assistance in reproducing it. Once we are able to reproduce the problem locally, in case it turns out to be a bug in the control, we will fix it as soon as possible. That is why, it will be great if you could take the time to:
  1. Check whether the provided test project behaves as expected on your side.
  2. In case you are not able to reproduce the problem with our test project, send us a running project, even not so simple.
  3. Our last option is to arrange a GoToMeeting session so we can check the behavior directly on your side. We are located in Bulgaria (GMT+2) and we are available for a GoToMeeting session between 11:00 and 17:00 (local time). Just let me know when it will be convenient for you and I will send you an invitation link.

    There is no need to install the GoToMeeting software from the vendor's site - when you receive the link and click on it, you will be prompted to install the client only.
    More information on GoToMeeting is available in their documentation, section Join a Meeting.
Greetings,

I have found a very similar problem with IE7 and Prometheus Splitter. If I set the height to "100%" then everything collapses so only the scroll bar arrows are visible. I am using the .Net 2 framework and asp.net 2.0 wiht VB with Ajax 1.0 extension. Also, I did not have any updatepanels either RAD or Microsoft.

I forgot to mention that the behaviour occurs in nested radsplitters, when the outermost splitter's Height property is set in %. Set in pixels its fine.

Hello Nimesh,
Please refer to this online article for information how to handle the situation. When you set the height of the RadSplitter in %, you have to set the height of all its parent elementsv as well.
