Don't you guys read this group?
There's a post, originated by myself, on the 22nd about equal height
columns. In it Nik Coughlin completely explains the CSS solution,
Dorayme has a simple fix for center or one side longer, and I have a
drop in javascript for columns anywhere, including rows and rows and
rows of floated thumbs.
All of those adjust to font or browser resizing.
The equal height column Holy Grail has been beat.
