Handy Javascript function for making elements in a row even/equal height. Relies on jQuery.
//set this for the elements you want equal height
var jquery_selector = '.main-content .story-block .thumbnail h3';
equalheight = function(container) {
var currentTallest = 0,
currentRowStart = 0,
rowDivs = new Array(),
$el,
topPosition = 0;
$(container).each(function() {
$el = $(this);
$($el).height('auto')
topPostion = $el.offset().top;
if (currentRowStart != topPostion) {
for (currentDiv = 0; currentDiv < rowDivs.length; currentDiv++) {
rowDivs[currentDiv].height(currentTallest);
}
rowDivs.length = 0; // empty the array
currentRowStart = topPostion;
currentTallest = $el.height();
rowDivs.push($el);
} else {
rowDivs.push($el);
currentTallest = (currentTallest < $el.height()) ? ($el.height()) : (currentTallest);
}
for (currentDiv = 0; currentDiv < rowDivs.length; currentDiv++) {
rowDivs[currentDiv].height(currentTallest);
}
});
}
$(window).load(function() {
equalheight(jquery_selector);
});
$(window).resize(function(){
equalheight(jquery_selector);
});
