/*-------------------------------------------------------------------- * JQuery Plugin: "EqualHeights" & "EqualWidths" * by: Scott Jehl, Todd Parker, Maggie Costello Wachs (http://www.filamentgroup.com) * * Copyright (c) 2007 Filament Group * Licensed under GPL (http://www.opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php) * * Description: Compares the heights or widths of the top-level children of a provided element and sets their min-height to the tallest height (or width to widest width).
