The Sidebar needs a <splitter/> that can go inside a box. Mail/news will need this widget too. This would replace framesets for dividing content. The splitter needs to be draggable and have an onclick handler.

Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
Target Milestone: M9
This was already down as an M9 task so targeting accordingly. Note that the original feature plan was to modify the behavior of FrameSetFrame to accomodate the grippy area but after discussing this with slamm his version would appear to be the better solution. Albeit one that will take longer to implement.

Assignee: sdagley → evaughan
Status: ASSIGNED → NEW
reassigning to evaughan who has taken over this as it will involve adding features to his box code.
Target Milestone: M9 → M10
Dragging of splitter will be done early m10. But the splitter is currently usable and supports collapse. <box> <titledbutton value="child1"/> <splitter/> <titledbutton value="child2"/> </box>

checked out the "dragging" of the splitter, it's a little rough but it works! It also seems to "snap" closed when I get about 1.25" from the edge (on win95). works fine on the mac. it does not work on the linux build (used 1999092008). Reopening bug

Splitter now works on linix. Some problems that have nothing to do with the splitter are: 1) Moving splitter is slow on linix this is a gtk problem not the splitter 2) splitter moves under iframes (this is a view manager problem)
