@requires:
jquery

@does:
This plug-in makes HTML-elements equal height by adjusting their min-height CSS properties. Of course IE6 has no clue what min-height means so the plug-in uses height for that crappy old dinosaur.

@howto:
jQuery('#content, #secondary-content').equalHeight(); would make the elements with IDs 'content' and 'secondary-content' equal height.

@exampleHTML:
<p>Hi</p>

<p>Hi<br />Bye!</p>

@exampleJS:
jQuery('#jquery-equal-height-example p').equalHeight();
***/
jQuery.fn.equalHeight = function () {
        var height  = 0;
        var maxHeight   = 0;

        // Store the tallest element's height
        this.each(function () {
                height          = jQuery(this).outerHeight();
                maxHeight       = (height > maxHeight) ? height : maxHeight;
        });

        // Set element's min-height to tallest element's height
        return this.each(function () {
                var t                   = jQuery(this);
                var minHeight   = maxHeight - (t.outerHeight() - t.height());
                var property    = jQuery.browser.msie && jQuery.browser.version < 7 ? 'height' : 'min-height';

                t.css(property, minHeight + 'px');
        });
};
