jQuery UI Resizable for 'splitter' UI?

I want to use the 'Resizable' interaction for controlling the widths of a group of cells; ie, if one cell is made smaller, the others gain size in relation to the overall width. I believe this is called a 'splitter' UI.

I've seen plugins like this (Resizable table columns plugin) - but I don't want to base it on table elements and I would rather use jQUI.

Is this possible or discussed before?
