KevinHall Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I'm using javascript to equalise the height of 2 columns so I can place a footer below them.The script I use works perfectly in IE, it works in Firefox when the page is first loaded, but if the window is resized it doesn't.Can anyone help?This is the script I'm using.[code]function setTall() { if (document.getElementById) { // the divs array contains references to each column's div element. // Replace 'center' 'right' and 'left' with your own. // Or remove the last one entirely if you've got 2 columns. Or add another if you've got 4! var divs = new Array(document.getElementById('c1'), document.getElementById('c2')); // Let's determine the maximum height out of all columns specified var maxHeight = 0; for (var i = 0; i < divs.length; i++) { if (divs[i].offsetHeight > maxHeight) maxHeight = divs[i].offsetHeight; } // Let's set all columns to that maximum height for (var i = 0; i < divs.length; i++) { divs[i].style.height = maxHeight + 'px'; // Now, if the browser's in standards-compliant mode, the height property // sets the height excluding padding, so we figure the padding out by subtracting the // old maxHeight from the new offsetHeight, and compensate! So it works in Safari AND in IE 5.x if (divs[i].offsetHeight > maxHeight) { divs[i].style.height = (maxHeight - (divs[i].offsetHeight - maxHeight)) + 'px'; } } }}onload = function() { setTall();}window.onResize = function() { setTall();}[/code]Thanks in advance.
