Thanks Chris! This is exactly what I needed, and I just happened to stumble upon it :)
Why not use CSS solution? :)
html,body{height:100%;}
#top,#bottom{height:50%;}
I was thinking the same thing, but I think it’s because of older browsers not rendering the height property properly or at all.
The best, then, might be both. The Javascript is lean enough that it shouldn’t impact performance, so there’s no problem keeping it, and the CSS’ll be there for those with a newer browser and Javascript off.
Hi really thanks…
It helped me to have the Equal height Column just update function –
* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
p { padding: 20px; }
.cnt{ height:300px; background:#6666FF;}
#top { background: #eee; width: 49.89%; float: left; }
#bottom { background: #ddd; width: 50%; float: left; }
$(function(){
var $window = $(window);
winHeight = $window.height();
$(“#top”).height(winHeight -300);
$(“#bottom”).height(winHeight -300);
$(window).resize(function(){
winHeight = $window.height();
$(“#top”).height(winHeight-300);
$(“#bottom”).height(winHeight-300);
});
});
— winHeight-300 — Where 300 is the header height of the site
