I know this is a completely random thought but saying thank you to a bus driver when getting off the bus has just become an automatic thing for me and I never use to think about it. Well the other day I just thought to myself why do we say thank you?

Well the only answer I could come up with is that I say thank you for the comfortable journey and getting me to my destination safely and on time. I think if they do those things then its only fair to say thank you when alighting from the bus.

Well now whenever I leave the bus I take a moment to think does this bus driver deserve a thank you? Well sure enough I don’t say thank you as often as I use to.

Friends are like balloons; once you let them go, you might not get them back. Sometimes we get so busy with our own lives and problems that we may not even notice that we’ve let them fly away. Sometimes we are so caught up in who’s right and who’s wrong that we forget what’s right and wrong. Sometimes we just don’t realize what real friendship means until it is too late.

Recently I had to make some divs the same height. Usually I would just pad the bottom of a div with page breaks but I couldn’t do that this time round as the page content is dynamic and the height of the divs could change.

First thing I did was look online for answers and sure enough there were solutions but looking at them they seemed over complicated so I decided to write my own solution.

Javascript Code:

function sameHeight(divs) // Bring in an array of your divs
{
var highest = 0;
for(i = 0; i < divs.length; i++) // Loop through the divs
{
document.getElementById(divs[i]).style.height = "auto";
// Check to see if this div is the highest?
if(document.getElementById(divs[i]).offsetHeight > highest)
{
// Yes its the highest so set the highest value to this div's height
highest = document.getElementById(divs[i]).offsetHeight;
}
}
// Loop through all divs again
for(i = 0; i < divs.length; i++)
{
// Set all divs height to the highest value
document.getElementById(divs[i]).style.height = highest+"px";
}
}

Then to run this code:

window.onload=function()
{
	sameHeight(new Array('block_01','block_02','block_03'));
}

Simply pass an array of your divs to the function. Easy peasy….

Just an extra word of warning… Be aware of using padding on the blocks you pass to this function. If the paddings are different in each block then they may not end up being the same height. Although you could modify the function to check for the use of padding and alter the heights accordingly.
