Ready — try the example.

States and behavior

Bounded pane widths, pointer capture, keyboard focus and canceled drag.

Keyboard

Tab reaches the divider; Left/Right adjusts 5%; Home/End reaches limits; Escape cancels an active drag.

Scope and adaptation

The divider is not a scroll bar. Touch resizing uses pointer events; minimum widths keep both panes reachable.

Original implementation; system colors are represented by CSS variables. The default 13 px system-font stack is a readable browser adaptation. The 1995 source is preliminary, not a final product specification. Test the target browser and native host before shipping.
