Use Fast JavaScript Max/Min - John Resig

Example with three logos of google, yahoo and bing.

Javascript

$(document).ready(function(){
    // Function to get the Max value in Array
    Array.max = function( array ){
        return Math.max.apply( Math, array );
    };

    // Function to get the Min value in Array
    Array.min = function( array ){
       return Math.min.apply( Math, array );
    };

    //updated as per Sime Vidas comment.
    var widths= $('img').map(function() {
        return $(this).width();
    }).get();

    alert("Max Width: " + Array.max(widths));
    alert("Min Width: " + Array.min(widths));
});
