Answer 1

You can use jQuery's height method to get and set the height of an element.

You need to loop through the elements, find the tallest one, then set the height of all of the elements.

var maxHeight;
$('div')
    .each(function() { maxHeight = Math.max(maxHeight, $(this).height()); })
    .height(maxHeigt);

Replace 'div' with a jQuery selector that selects the elements you want to equalize.
