Remarks

Known Issues

SplitView controls should be direct children of document.body. Otherwise, it is possible to mask event detection on the SplitView due to stacking context effects. This is because event detection for other elements is blocked while the SplitView is open. So, if the SplitView is a child of one of those blocked elements, it too will be blocked. This behavior is typical for all overlaying controls.
