Try moving the vertical bar to resize the area.
The resize is done after you drop the additional bar.
Sample code:
<obspl:Splitter runat="server">
<LeftPanel>
<Content>
... Left Panel content here ...
</Content>
</LeftPanel>
<RightPanel>
<Content>
... Right Panel content here ...
</Content>
</RightPanel>
</obspl:Splitter>
