Update:
This issue is with regards to multiple pane splitter which was working fine in all browsers except IE9. The widths for the right pane children do not resize accordingly upon window resize.
(In the context of my application, I also had to put the right pane split method in a different javascript thread using setTimeout, 0 delay, otherwise the widths/top positions go wild in IE9.)
I had trouble getting the plug-in working until I combined garlon4's solution with another fix required for jQuery 1.6+. Here is what I did:
I added the function:
function browser_resize_auto_fired() {
// Returns true when the browser natively fires the resize
// event attached to the panes elements
return ($.browser.msie && (parseInt($.browser.version) < 9));
}
Then replaced instances of
!$browser.msie
with
!browser_resize_auto_fired()
Finally, to get the plug-in working under jquery 1.6+, I changed this code:
$(window).bind("resize", function (e) {
var top = splitter.offset().top;
var wh = $(window).height();
splitter.css("height", Math.max(wh - top - splitter._hadjust, splitter._hmin) + "px");
if (!browser_resize_auto_fired()) splitter.trigger("resize");
}).trigger("resize");
to this:
$(window).bind("resize", function (e) {
if (e.target == window) {
var top = splitter.offset().top;
var wh = $(window).height();
splitter.css("height", Math.max(wh - top - splitter._hadjust, splitter._hmin) + "px");
if (!browser_resize_auto_fired()) splitter.trigger("resize");
}
}).trigger("resize");
Here is the full code for the plug-in, containing the fixes:
/*
* jQuery.splitter.js - two-pane splitter window plugin
*
* version 1.51 (2009/01/09)
* version 1.52 (2012/05/08) -- Fixes by Roger Martin
* * Added check in window resize event handler to run only when the target is the window. This fixes a breaking
* change introduced in jQuery 1.6.
* * Added support for IE 9+

/**
* The splitter() plugin implements a two-pane resizable splitter window.
* The selected elements in the jQuery object are converted to a splitter;
* each selected element should have two child elements, used for the panes
* of the splitter. The plugin adds a third child element for the splitbar.
*
* For more details see: http://methvin.com/splitter/
*
*
* @example $('#MySplitter').splitter();
* @desc Create a vertical splitter with default settings
*
* @example $('#MySplitter').splitter({type: 'h', accessKey: 'M'});
* @desc Create a horizontal splitter resizable via Alt+Shift+M
*
* @name splitter
* @type jQuery
* @param Object options Options for the splitter (not required)
* @cat Plugins/Splitter
* @return jQuery

I also had this problem. I replaced all of the
!$browser.msie
in conditionals to
browser_resize()
and then defined a new function just after the header comments:
function browser_resize()
{
if (!$.browser.msie)
return true;
if (parseInt($.browser.version)<9)
return false;
return true;
}
