Current size:', ui.size); , onResize: function(event, ui) // ui.size = current size of first pane $('#sizeDisplay').text(ui.size + 'px'); , onResizeEnd: function(event, ui) alert('Resize finished at ' + ui.size + 'px'); // Save preference to localStorage localStorage.setItem('splitterPos', ui.size); ); 8. Persisting Splitter Position Using cookie option: $('#mySplitter').splitter( cookie: 'mySplitterPos' // Stores position in cookie ); Using localStorage manually: var savedSize = localStorage.getItem('splitterPos') || 250; $('#mySplitter').splitter( size: savedSize, onResizeEnd: function(event, ui) localStorage.setItem('splitterPos', ui.size);
