title: Use jQuery to Get Largest Height Value of Children, then Apply that Height Value to All Children
body: <p>I realize for the most part CSS is the best way to achieve even height elements.  However, in certain situations where we are dealing with a page or CMS we don't have full control over, I think a jQuery solution would be very handy.</p>
  
  <p>I'm wondering how I would achieve the following in jQuery.  I'm not very familiar with jQuery syntax, but here is my watered down pseudo jQuery / English syntax...  Does this make sense, or is there a simpler way of achieving this? I realize the following code does not work in the slightest, it's just my way of trying to contribute towards a solution, and pitch in a bit in the logic department:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('div.columns')each.get.height;
  create an array of the height values
  grab the largest value in this array
  $('div.columns')each.css(height: $max-height);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Once you stop laughing at my pseudo-code, any ideas?
  Thanks!!</p>
