A Resizing Component by Coalesys, Inc.

Without modifying the programming architecture, it easily gives your applications a fluidity and level of interactive control not typically found on a web page. Even controls that were not designed with fluid layout features will benefit simply by being contained within PanelSet.

Cross-Browser Support
Automatically detects and renders a tailored PanelSet layout for Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 - 6, Netscape Navigator 6 - 7, Opera 7 - 8, Mozilla/Firefox 1, Safari1 and Gecko-based browsers running on Windows, Mac and Linux.

DHTML Features
At the client, the run-time DHTML has many features and abilities. These are a few:

• XHTML and HTML Compatibility - Can function within pages that are designed in either XHTML 1 and HTML 4.


• Auto-Sizing Panels - Panels will automatically resize to fit the available browser window realestate. Panels can also be constrained to a specific size, perfect for tool bar or caption areas.


• Splitter Resizable Panels - Splitters can allow a user to resize Panels using the mouse. Splitter positions can be retained between ASP.NET Postbacks.


• Scrolling Content - The content within each Panel has the ability to be scrolled independant of other content. Scroll state can be retained between ASP.NET Postbacks.


• Stackable/Multi-Page PanelSets - Within a PanelSet, the Panels can serve multi-page DHTML content, perfect for implementing tab or wizard-like interfaces. The displayed Panel state can be retained between ASP.NET Postbacks.


• Nested PanelSets - Create an unlimited number of nested Horizontal, Vertical or Stackable PanelSets to meet your custom design goals.


• Customized Splitter Appearance - PanelSet Splitters can have a customized look by specifying graphics, colors and/or borders.


• Background Images - A background image can be displayed in a PanelSet or Panel, and even appear beneath multiple Panels without performing any image splicing.
