I need to set equal height on a series of divs inside another div wrapper. The problem is that I dont want the same height on all of them. The page kind of have 3 columns and the floating divs can be 1, 2 or 3 columns wide. The divs float left, so the following example will give me three rows of divs in my wrapper. How can I set equal height on the divs that are in the same row? In my example I want nr 1 and 2 to have equal height and 3, 4 and 5 another equal height? I cant know beforehand how many divs there is or how wide or high they are. Edit: They can be for instance 300, 600 or 900 px wide and the page
width is 900px
<div id="wrapper">
<div class="one-wide">nr1</div>
<div class="two-wide">nr2</div>
<div class="one-wide">nr3</div>
<div class="one-wide">nr4</div>
<div class="one-wide">nr5</div>
<div class="three-wide">nr6</div>
</div>
Im thinking I somehow need to figure out when the added
width of the divs is at the full page
width and set equal height on those. Then do the same on the next divs. But I cant wrap my head around it. Currently im just using this to set the height on the children of the wrapper:
$.fn.equalHeights = function(px) {
$(this).each(function(){
var currentTallest = 0;
$(this).children().each(function(i){
if ($(this).height() > currentTallest) { currentTallest = $(this).height(); }
});
// for ie6, set height since min-height isn't supported
if ($.
browser.msie && $.
browser.version == 6.0) { $(this).children().css({'height': currentTallest}); }
$(this).children('div').css({'min-height': currentTallest});
});
return this;
};
