jQuery sash (splitter) plugin

Task: you want to split your web-page into resizable panels. Users may drag splitters between panels left and right, up and down – adjusting the whole view to their liking. Also it should be easy to hide/show individual panels, together with their splitters.

Problem: how to do it with as less code as possible, so that you write:

$("#parentDiv").sash({ content1: "div1", content2: "div2" });

and the rest is done automatically?

Solution: use jQuery Sash Plugin.
